My demon (god help me)


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

I've been trying not to lose my grip, trying to keep control
I've been trying to win a battle with my back against the wall
I been trying not to let it slip away
I can't hold it anymore

And my demon he was patient
He just waits till I had nowhere else to turn
And he knew my situation
He was laughing as I burned

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

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

So 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 breath before
Before I would attack

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 I tried

And I cried out God help me
I got no one on my side
I'd get down on my knees
If you'd 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'd make it alright

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 any more

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

I cried out God help me
I cried out God help me
And I cried out God help me
And I cried out God help me
I got no one on my side

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 no one on my side

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
