My Demon (God Help Me)

[Verse 1]
I've been running from something
That I could not see
I was running from something
That was inside of me
I've been running from something
That was hiding, waiting to be free

[Verse 2]
I've been trying not to lose my grip
Trying to keep control
I've been trying to win the battle
With my back against the wall
I been trying not to let it slip away
I can't hold it anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
And my demon he was patient
Just wait 'till I have nowhere else to turn
And he knew my situation
He was laughing as I burned

[Chorus]
And I cried out god help me
I got no one on my side
I'd get down on my knees
If you make it alright
And I cried out god help me
I'm running out of time
I'd fall down on my knees
If you make it alright

[Verse 3]
I learned to keep my friends at arms length
And my enemies real tight
And I learned that when the night is cold
The flame's still burning bright
And I learned that when it hurt me
Was the only time that I could feel alive

[Verse 4]
So I started feeling no pain
Even when they broke my back
And I headed down that empty road
And never looking back
And I started to draw a single breathe before
Before I would attack

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I saw my demon in the mirror
Looking back at me
Right there in my eyes
And I couldn't walk away from him
No matter how hard I tried

[Chorus]
And I cried out god help me
I got no one on my side
I'd get down on my knees
If you make it alright
And I cried out god help me
I'm running out of time
I'd fall down on my knees
If you make it alright

[Refrain]
I've been trying not to lose my grip
Trying to keep control
I've been trying not to let it slip away
But I can't take it anymore

[Chorus]
So I cried out god help me
I got no one on my side
I'd get down on my knees
If you make it alright
So I cried out god help me
I'm running out of time
I'd fall down on my knees
If you make it alright

[Post-Chorus]
I cried out god help me
I cried out god help me
And I cried out god help me
I got no one on my side

[Outro]
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
No one on my side now
God help me
God help me
Oh god help me now
And I cried out god help me
God help me now
God help me
I've got no one on my side
