A promise or a dare
|
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
|
Staring over the edge
|
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
|
|
I close my eyes and make a wish
|
Turn out the lights and take a breath
|
Pray that when the wick is burned
|
You would say that it's all about love
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
You were there when I needed you
|
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
|
You were there when I needed you
|
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
|
|
You were never here
|
|
I remember you said
|
Love was more than your good intentions
|
Empty boxes on the floor
|
Things I never asked you for
|
I pray that when the wick is burned
|
You would say that it's all about love
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I can't see the promise of
|
Excuses you fall upon
|
I pray to God not holding on
|
To things you've left undone
|
|
[Chorus x 2]
|
|
You were there when I
|
You were there when I
|
You were there when I needed you
|
