Written by Arthur Petit and Jessee Lee

lyrics

Verse
Here I am getting help again, for what used to be my only friend
But you just left scars and whiskey dents and brought me to my knees
You morphed my mind and changed my soul, my hands shook cause I’d need you so
I’ve lost love and pretty homes with your control of me

But now I see the cold hard truth
Of who you are and what you do


Chorus
Like a mistress, you undress all my weakness and use me up
You get a metal, ya black label Devil, for making this rebel a sorry “you know what”
Thought I needed you to live but I don’t
Turns out I live pretty damn good on my own

Verse
Without you in my morning cup, my eyes are clear when I wake up
I can finally feel and that’s enough to keep me wanting more
My kids believe the words I say, my love will stay another day
Cause I’m sober as a jay, it ain’t you I’m fighting for

I’ve chased your high and felt your low
But I’m cutting you off and letting you go


Chorus
Like a mistress, you undress all my weakness and use me up
You get a metal, ya black label Devil, for making this rebel a “sorry you know what”
Thought I needed you to live
but I don’t
Turns out I live pretty damn good on my own


Bridge
Without a pill that numbs my thinking, without the handles I’d be drinking
It’s a new page that I’m turnin’ and I like this better version


Chorus
Without my mistress and God as my witness, I’m through with all this - I’ve had enough
I’ll take a metal, you black label Devil, cause I’ve passed the levels and sobered up
Thought I needed you to live but I don’t
Turns out I live pretty damn good,
You thought you’d win me back but you won’t
Turns out I live pretty damn good on my own
