Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The midnight hours were getting heavy, the rain was pounding on the glass
I was staring down a river that was running way too fast
My strength was fading, the room was getting cold
Just a heart too tired for the weight it had to hold
I was drifting in the dark, lost in what to do
In the shadow of the valley, I was searching just for you
​(Verse 2)
You walked right through the wreckage, right into the dark
You didn't ask no questions, you just saw a fading spark
And you came and held my hand with no regrets
Showing me a grace that I haven't found just yet
I look into your eyes, wanting to believe you've forgiven me for it all
Lifting up the pieces of a long and heavy fall
​(Chorus)
I was searching just for you
When the shadows almost pulled me through
You didn’t know the storm I was in
But you reached your hand out anyway, my friend
Yeah, the world was letting go, but you held on tight
You’ll never truly know how you saved my life
​(Verse 3)
But there's a ghost in the room, and I'm back to being a ghost too
Every time we come together, the truth becomes a lie
'Cause when we are together, the bottle is our friend
And we both know deep down we can't let this be the end
Yeah, the love is real, but the poison runs too deep
The bottle has to go on both ends for this life to keep
​(Bridge)
Now I’m standing at the crossroads, packed up and ready to leave
Holding onto the mercy that you helped me to believe
But this is where our tracks diverge, this is where I let you go
The hardest kind of love is the one that walks away, I know
I'm caught between the rescue and the truth I can't deny
So I’m leaving you my gratitude, and this final, last goodbye
​(Guitar Solo - Slow, soft, and deeply mournful)
​(Chorus)
I was searching just for you
When the shadows almost pulled me through
You didn’t know the storm I was in
But you reached your hand out anyway, my friend
Yeah, the world was letting go, but you held on tight
You’ll never truly know how you saved my life
​(Outro)
Yeah, you held my hand... with no regrets.
And I want to believe you have forgiven me.
But the bottle has to go on both ends.
Yeah, you saved my life... now we gotta save our own.
And I'm fading away, back to being a ghost...
So turn around, don't look back...
This is my final goodbye.
Goodbye, my friend.
