Down In The Dirt Lyrics

Girl, when you walked out of our world

When you left and slammed the door

Maybe I should've tried to talk you down

Like I had to do so many times before

But I wouldn't 've seen life from the bottom

If you hadn't knocked me down in the dirt

When you convinced yourself I was the problem

And girl, in the end that's what really hurts

Though I doubt you ever let yourself feel it,

My love for you ran deep and true

But you're always running from your heart

Saying you just have to do what you must do

It's not the mud down at the bottom that's so depressing

Down there in the dirt, you get used to that

It's knowing how you had to see me as the villain

To convince yourself you just had to leave me flat

I know I never was your image

Of a white knight on a steed

But I did everything you asked me to do

I deserved to be judged upon my deeds

I guess to feel good about your leaving

Somebody had to be right, somebody wrong

But I know everything that I suffered

Just to stand by you for so long

Down there in the dirt I saw your twisted vision

I guess I had to see it to believe it could be true

That you could hold so much anger

Towards someone who just tried to give his all to you

Now I've picked myself up,

Dusted myself off, and I'm moving on

You know all that in good faith I gave you,

And my guess is you'll miss me before too long
