Don't Let Me Fall
by: Hayes CarllI walked the highway since I can't remember
I cut my poor family right down to the bone
From the shadows of hell to the winds of December
They dined with the strangers, woke up all alone
Chorus
So dont let me fall, cause iI might not get up again
Just hold me tight, right now what I need's a friend
I've come too far for this to be the end
Dont let me fall, cause I might not get up
God knows I tried to hold on to a feeling
Some old memory to keep in my heart
And I ask forgiveness from those I've forsaken
Forgiveness won't come in and it tears me apart
Repeat Chorus
Killing this pain outside in the rain
One hand holds the bottle one hand holds my shame
I don't know which comes first I don't know which is
worst
