When the world has turned its back on you
I will let you lean on mine,
When people finally let go of your hands,
I will have our fingers intertwined,
When everything seems to go downhill,
And it feels like they blame it all on you,
I'll let you get mad, let you bawl your eyes out,
I'll let you hurt because you need it too,
They'll break your heart and you'll let them be,
You'll scatter the shards but I'll keep them close,
And when it's over I'll return them all to you,
The brightest parts now were where you hurt the most,
And when the time comes that you ask of me,
All the reasons, how and why,
I'll look at you straight in the eyes and say,
"Love, I'm always on your side"
