Demons
Demons-Alec Benjamin Lyrics

I've got all these demons hiding underneath
The singer is struggling internally and has a lot of issues that are not visible to others.

Nobody can see them, nobody but me, and you're the reason
The singer has opened up to someone special, who is aware of the demons and is helping to keep them at bay.

The only thing that keeps me from diving off the deep end
This person is the only thing preventing the singer from hitting rock bottom or losing themselves completely.

Because I've got all these demons, demons, demons, mhm
The singer repeats this line as a reminder of the heavy burden they are carrying.

Well, at first I thought I'd have to bear this weight by myself
Initially, the singer was dealing with their issues alone and didn't think anyone could or would help them.

But when my knees were getting weak and I was in need of help
As things got more difficult, the singer realized they needed support and guidance from someone else.

You were there to take away the pain that I felt, mhm
This person stepped in and helped ease the pain and burden of the singer's demons.

You're the only one that gave me hope
This special person was able to give the singer a sense of hope and helped them see that things could get better.

You're the only one who really knows
This individual has a deep understanding of the singer's inner demons and knows the true extent of what they are going through.

For a moment I thought maybe I was doing alright
The singer thought they had things under control and could handle their demons on their own for a time.

So I took your love for granted and I left you behind
Unfortunately, the singer took for granted the support and care of their special person and pushed them away.

And I just didn't understand, you kept me alive, mhm
Looking back, the singer realizes how important this special person has been in keeping them from reaching rock bottom or giving up altogether.

You forgave me and you gave me hope
Despite being hurt, this person was able to forgive and provide a sense of hope to the singer.

Still you're the only one who really knows
Once again, this person has the deepest understanding of what the singer is going through and what they need.

It's you, you pull me through it on the days when I have doubts
No matter how difficult the singer's demons may be, this person is able to help them through the tough times and provide a sense of stability.

Even when I turned my back on you, you never let me down
Despite the singer's mistakes and attempts to push this person away, they were always there to provide support when needed.

And even when I hit the bottom, no, you didn't let me drown
Even when it seemed like all was lost, this person was able to provide a safety net and prevent the singer from hitting rock bottom.

Because I've got all these demons, demons, demons, mhm
The song ends with the repetition of the line, showing that the demons are still there, but with the help of this special person, the singer is able to keep fighting and find hope.
