it's the last thing that I heard
Before I turned around to try
But darling, when you're finished here,
I should have seen it coming
You're headed straight for hell
You better check yourself
Or you'd better hold on tight
And if the hate inside my heart
doesn't overtake what's left
And before I learn to let it go,
then I'll never make it out
The self -destructive things that I had done
It felt like way past too late
Completely unaware I was a mess
And fully wrap myself in lies
I thought I'd never escape
I should have seen it coming
You're headed straight for hell
You'd better check yourself
Or you'd better hold on tight
And if the hate inside my heart
Doesn't overtake what's left
Before I learn to let it go
Then I'll never make it out alive
Maybe if I prayed a little more
Maybe if I tried a little harder
Maybe if I hadn't been so wrapped up
in the sins I thought I loved
Maybe if I tried to take back
some of the hurtful things I say
To all the people all around me
Every time I drink too much
and listened to the things
Lying to myself, did I have change?
But maybe if I opened up my eyes
and seen a rescue standing right there
And I should've known, I swear
I should've seen it coming
Your head is straight for hell
You better check yourself
or you better hold on tight
And if the hate inside my heart
Doesn't overtake what's left
Before I learn to let it go
And I'll never make it out alive
