Saving Me From Myself | A Real Country Confession

[Verse 1]
God, I’m face-down on a dirty floor
Knuckles bleeding, can’t lie no more
I burned every bridge I ever crossed
Now I’m praying you don’t count the cost
If you still hear the broken and damned
The screw-ups, the liars, the shaking hands
I’ve been wrong since I learned my name
And I don’t trust myself to change

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve made promises I couldn’t keep
I’ve chased relief down bottles and sheets
So if grace still falls this far down
I need it now

[Chorus]
I wanna be a good man — not just when it’s easy
Not just sober, not just needy
I wanna look myself straight in the eyes
And not see another goddamn lie
I wanna be a strong man — yeah, the scared kind
The kind that owns his mess this time
God, I don’t need saving from hell
I need saving from myself

[Verse 2]
If there’s still a chance with her somehow
I know I don’t deserve it now
But if love’s a fire I pissed on before
I’d crawl through glass to feel it warm
It’s gonna take more than apologies
More than crying on my knees
It’s gonna take a miracle and then some
To make her trust who I’ve become

[Chorus]
I wanna be a stay man — not a ghost
Not another almost, almost
I wanna be the man she sleeps beside
Not the reason she cries at night
I wanna be your man — no bullshit, no show
Not just Sundays, not just low
God, if she ever believes again
Let it be in the man I am

[Bridge]
I know talk’s cheap at 2 a.m.
When regret comes crawling in
But I swear this ain’t another plea
I’m done running — don’t give up on me

[Breakdown]
I’ve fucked it up more times than I can count
If mercy’s real, let it find me now

[Final Chorus]
I wanna be a giving man — not a taker
A line-in-the-sand, no-excuses changer
I wanna live like tomorrow’s real
Not numb, not bitter, not half-healed
God, I’m done with who I’ve been
I’m done making the same amends
If you’re still in the business of change
Start right here — wreck me, remake me

[Outro]
Yeah, break me if that’s what it takes
Just don’t let me walk away the same
