Lyrics

My Demon Within
Garry Hallman

When I woke up that morning and I laid there in bed
I heard the sound of your voice, but not a word you said
No, not a word that you said

Cause there's something inside and it won't set me free
A dark side of my life always pulling at me
It's always pulling at me

It's a constant battle with my demon within
Just when I think that I've lost him he'll surface again
No matter how hard I try, you know I always give in
To the constant battle with my demon within

I'm sure you know what it is that I'm going though
I only hope that know that I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to hurt you

Because I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't
I've learned to live with this demon and understand if you won't
And I know that you won't

Cause it's a constant battle with my demon within
Just when I think that I've lost him he surfaces again
No matter how hard I try, you know I just can't win
This constant battle with my demon within

Take the baby and go live your lives
She's better off not having me in her life
And maybe someday I'll get myself together and free
Maybe someday she'll get to know me

Now I wake up each morning and I lie here alone
I wish I'd get myself clean and maybe someday come home
I really want to come home
