No matter how much you hurt
No matter how much you cry
No matter how easy it seems
To break down and die
Don’t do it, young child
Don’t even think that
That’s not the easy road
Ive already gone down that path
For whatever its worth
And whatever it means
I’ll be here for you
Through nightmares and dreams
I’ll never let you fall
As some may have before
I’ll always love you
You honestly can’t ignore
No matter what you may think
Or any assumptions you keep
I’m the real deal, a true blue friend
And my affections run deep
Don’t think I’d ever leave you
Don’t think I’d ever lie
Don’t think I’d ever deceive you
Don’t think I’d ever say good bye
I’ve thrown my heart away
And felt like the dead
For far too long now
My soul has bled
I can’t quite explain
The thing you do to me
You make my heart stop hurting
And help me properly breathe
So the only way I’m going
Is if you leave me first
As long as you love me
Through the best and the worst
I’ll be here.
