Lyrics

He was never the villain?
Just a man carrying scars?
Fighting battles I couldn't see
?Hidden in the dark?
I spent years painting shadows
?On the walls of what we'd been?
Hurt doesn't always wear a black hat?
Sometimes its just not seen

Chorus
?He wasn't the devil in my story?
Wasn't trying to break my heart?
Just a man with his own ghosts
Who tore everything apart
I couldn't heal
couldnt mend what was broken?
And quiet the ache inside?
But some roads have to be walked alone?
Before they can lead you home

Verse
I spent years wondering why you walked away?
Turning every memory over, trying to explain?
But some questions don't have answers?
Some doors just stay closed?

Chorus

He wasn't the devil in my story?
Wasn't trying to break my heart?
Just a man with his own ghosts
Who tore everything apart
Couldnt mend what was broken?
And quiet the ache inside?
But some roads have to be walked alone
Before they can lead you home



Bridge
I thought love could mend the broken
?Fill the cracks we couldn't face?
But nobody can save somebody
?Who's still trying to run away

Chorus

He wasn't the devil in my story?
Wasn't trying to break my heart?
Just a man with his own ghosts
Who tore everything apart
couldn't mend what was broken?
And quiet the ache inside?
But some roads have to be walked alone
Before they can lead you home
