[Verse 1]
And when the flames come up
I see the fire in your eyes
And when the flames come up
I can hear a lone wolf cry
I wanna pick you up and start to run
Away from here
Before they find me and my smoking gun
It fucked me up, the damage done
I'm tired of this
I fought a war that can't be won

[Hook]
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But trust me, 'cause I know
The woods get what they want

[Verse 2]
And when the rain comes down
I'll watch it wash you to the bone
Baby, can you see me now?
With my eyes clear, I'm sober
I remember when you went away
And back you came
Like a fucking hurricane
You saw a ghost inside of me
It haunted you
You couldn't see the forest for the trees
[Hook - Variation]
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But trust me, 'cause I know
The woods get what they want
The wolves will chase you down
They'll bring you to your knees
And run you ragged to the ground
Just like they did to me

[Bridge]
I've had blood on my hands
I stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change so I walked away
It was giving me hell so I gave it the same
I've had blood on my hands
Stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change 'cause I wasn't the same
It took me to hell so I gave it away
I've had blood on my hands
Stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change so I walked away
It was giving me hell so I gave it the same

[Hook - Variation]
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But trust me, 'cause I know
The woods get what they want
Heaven only knows
Where the story's gonna stop
I can't believe my eyes
The woods got what they want
[Outro]
Can't you feel it in the air right now?
The love and loss, the hate in the rain
Don't I know best?
Better the devil that you know
Than the devil that you don't
Baby blue, I understand
I've been here too

Oh my God
The body of a good man
