Basement

[Verse 1]
Down some dark stairs to a basement
Is where I found you
We were both young, walking our own paths
And I found you
There in the basement
How we argued, how we fought
I said, "Come," and you said, "Stay"
Wish I'd known what was ahead of you
I let you go and as I walked away
I regret the choices that we made

[Chorus]
Now you fight a different demon every day
And I wish I was stronger when it came to taking you away
And I am sorry for the choices that I made
But I was young and you were younger
When it all changed that day

[Verse 2]
All these years I have loved him
Felt I failed you
I was older, I should never
Have left you
There in the basement
You were fragile, you were fierce
Wouldn't listen to my pleas
Wish I'd known what was ahead of you
I let you stay and as I walked away
I regret the choices that we made

[Chorus]
Now you fight a different demon every day
And I wish I was stronger when it came to taking you away
And I am sorry for the choices that I made
But I was young and you were younger
When it all

[Bridge]
And if I could take your place, I would have
And if I could take your pain, I would have
And if I could turn back time, I would have
And if I never left you

[Chorus]
Now you fight a different demon every day
And I wish I was stronger when it came to taking you away
And I am sorry for the choices that I made
But I was young and you were younger
When it all changed that day

[Outro]
Oh
