Butch Walker
Number One (The Ballad)
[Intro: Lajon Witherspoon]
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave?

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Another day of life
Lost with hope to find
I want to be the best now that it's all gone
Erase my lifelines, stop, absorb the time
Allowed to see, believe it's me
I'm alone (Now that I'm alone)

[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Cross my heart to live, I never claim to
Still, I'm ashamed to
Admit that I was ever wrong at all
Wash away my stains again
Still, I'm stranded from my soul
I'll never see this side of life
Not alone
(No cries, now I'm gone)
[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)

[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon & Clit Lowery]
It's all up to me (All up to me)
I know to live, you have to be strong
(I know to live, you have to be strong)
I want to end, I want to end the pain
Instead of being the one who's wrong
(I want to end the pain instead)
The one who's wrong
I'm all alone

[Guitar Solo: Clint Lowery]

[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave? (Leave)
[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon]
It's all up to me
I know to live, you have to be strong
I want to end, I want to end the pain
Instead of being the one who's wrong
The one who's wrong
I'm all alone
Down to my last stand
Try and take my hand
Why so hard to leave?
