Acoustic singer-songwriter ballad with blues and folk influences

[Intro — Low Guitar, Slow Building Tension] [Verse 1] Every door I walk through falls off its hinges Every hand I hold ends up with blisters I swear I'm trying to be gentle But something in my bones still knows how to break things [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to leave these scars But good intentions only go so far [Chorus] There's a killer in me, yeah, I know it's true Leaves a trail of wreckage in everything I do There's a killer in me, and I'm tired of running From the ghost of who I am [Verse 2] Called my mother up to say I'm sorry For the years I only called when I was needing She said, "Son, I've seen the storms you carry But a storm ain't all that you can be" [Pre-Chorus] I heard her breathing on the line And couldn't find the words for quite some time [Chorus] There's a killer in me, yeah, I know it's true Leaves a trail of wreckage in everything I do There's a killer in me, and I'm tired of running From the ghost of who I am [Bridge — Stripped Back, Almost Spoken] Now I'm standing at the mirror Looking at the man I've been Thinking of the ones who loved me And the doors I wouldn't let them in I can't take back all the damage Can't undo the things I've said But I can stop the hurt from reaching Someone I haven't met yet [Final Chorus — Stronger, Determined] There's a killer in me, but he doesn't have to win I can choose what happens next, not just where I've been There's a killer in me, but I'm finally moving Toward the man I wanna be [Outro — Guitar and Voice, Then Instrumental Fade] [Quiet, Almost Whispered] Some of us carry storms inside our skin... [Pause] But storms don't last forever.
