Jimmy Barnes - My Demon (God Help Me)

MY DEMON (GOD HELP ME) (written by Jimmy Barnes, Troy Cassar-Daley & Ben Rodgers) 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 I 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. 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. I cried out, God help me, God help me now God help me, I've no one on my side.
