i'll stand by you

Oh why you look so sad

The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now

So much I keep bottled up within

It seems there's no one to turn to

The tears, I fight them

Afraid to come off as weak

Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

Oh, if it was that simple

My burden, you cannot carry

My baggage, no one knows how heavy

No ray of light shines on my darkness

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I yearn for better days

But I don't know how to get there

My past is not the brightest

My life is not the happiest

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

But I've been hurt so many times

Been disappointed so many times

Not only am I fragile

I'm angry and pessimistic

So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Its easier said than done

For I don't want to be the angry person

The one mad that life is going nowhere

Dejected, frustrated, border-line depression

Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you

You don't know my story

You have never walked in my shoes

Some things are best hidden

How can you clean up my hot mess?

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along

Decisions, decisions, so hard to make

And what if I make the wrong choices

What I fail, and keep failing

What if I don't know what to do, where to go

Because even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

A companion, oh that sounds so good

Are you sure, that even if I'm wrong .. ?

Even if its more work to stand by me?

Even when your other options are way better?

Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

I'm scared out of my pants

It's hard to trust

And even harder to take certain risks

I never want to get lost in the dark

And when the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

All this talk

Can you put your money where your mouth is?

Don't deceive me with fairy tales, building castles in the air

For once I let you in, there is no turning back

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you

Don't ever let me go

I won't

Why are you teary eyed?

I'm overjoyed, I'm over-loved, I'm feeling lucky

My broken heart, spread across the skies like Northern stars .. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you  :-)

When someone reaches out to you, knowing very well that you are broken, even when some people think you cannot be fixed, even when you are totally unsure about yourself .. though it might not seem like the smartest thing to do at the time, it may be the best decision you will ever make to grab that person's hand. 

Inspired by 'Stand by You- The Pretenders'
Also, by John Legend - Stay with you. Amazing song, init?

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

Though relationships can get old
They have the tendency to grow cold
We have something like miracle
Yeah, and I'll stay with you

And there will be heartaches and pains, yes there will
But through it all, we will remain
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, and they may go
Through the years I know
I will stay

And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for the lifetime
And I'll stay with you
I will stay with you

This is for all my very good friends. Love you lot. Okay, now go give some one a hug and remind someone that you care.
Happy weekend, everyone!!
