[Intro: Brahma Bull & Megan Rüger]
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
And if I quit it all today, would you respect me?
[Verse 1: Brahma Bull]
Yeah, I been goin' through a couple things
Head spinnin' on my porch while the birds sing
I try and get into his care free mindset
Time flies, gettin' old but I ain't blind yet
A little life left and I'ma make the best of it
And here I am burnt out now confessin' it
"Where'd I go wrong?" is not the question at hand
It's where I went right and became a man
Kids lookin' up to me with grown man cryin'
From the words that I spoken when I wasn't even tryin'
I wanna walk away but I don't know if I will let me
And if I walk away I don't know if I'll respect me
[Chorus: Megan Rüger]
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
[Verse 2: Brahma Bull]
Sometimes I feel like my best is passed
Like I poured out my soul and filled up that glass
Like I gave every ounce that I had to give
Like writin' bad checks 'cause I had to live
Like goin' on the road when I felt like I was dyin'
Fallin' to your knees when you couldn't stop cryin'
Knowin' that your time in the light is dim
Knowin' that it's time for the fat to trim
Sometimes I feel like I keep on writin'
Just to say something that you think's excitin'
I roll like thunder, flash like lightin'
Singin' from the heart while my chest is tightenin'
[Chorus: Megan Rüger]
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
[Verse 3: Brahma Bull]
They don't have to know me as long as I'm true
Winnin's not a trophy, this is what I'm tellin' you
My bodies beat down, my head's a mess
They got me layin' down tryna beat the stress
But I throw on my mask, paint it with a smile
Fill another flask, and drive them miles
See, I love my fans without them I'm nil
With the hurt that I feel won't cure with a pill
Did I stay too long writin' you these songs?
Will you miss and respect me when I'm gone?
You gotta realize that the clock don't stop
Is it wrong that I wanna head out on top?
[Chorus: Megan Rüger]
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
[Outro: Megan Rüger]
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
They think I've got it all, but they don't know me
And if I tried to walk away, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me? Yeah
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me? Yeah
