I'm There

I’m there when you need to cry

I’m there when someone else lies

I’m there when you don’t think you can hold on

I’m there to make you feel strong

I’m there when no one else cares

I’m there, I’m there, I’m always there

you expect me to hold you tight

especially when you’re not right

stop leaving me with a broken heart

because that’s not your part

you walk away feeling great

expecting me to sit and wait

for the next time you have to cry

then skip away without a goodbye

you are my best friend, or are you?

you seem like a job I always have to do

yeah, sure I’m there for everyone

but what happens when I need someone?

what  happens when I can’t take it anymore?

I’m not as strong as I would like to be

I was hoping at least you would see

where are you when I need to cry?

where do you disappear to when someone lies?

where are you when I’m not strong?

where are you when I can’t hold on?

sometimes I feel like you don’t care

but it also feels like you’re always there

you are a ghost walking through my life

someone I can count on where luck strikes

I’m getting hurt and so are you

but without each other, we can’t get through

I know you know that to

so it looks like I’m stuck with you

but it wouldn’t hurt for you to try

like I do for you all the time

the next time I have to cry

please stay by my side

please tell me you can see

I’m not as strong as I would like to be

Steps

a couple more steps and I would’ve caught the stars

a couple more steps and I could’ve hit mars

a couple more steps and I would’ve never met you

a couple more steps and all my days would’ve been blue

a couple more steps and I would’ve jumped off my cliff

a couple more steps and my life could have been a whole new riff

I took these steps that I made

and there isn’t anything I would trade

because I’m the person I wanna be

if you’ve got a problem with that, let that problem be

cause one day I’ll find my way

I don’t care what you say

while I’m up there catching the stars

my grip may start to slip off these climbing bars

and when my tears blend in with the rain

who is it that I can blame?

I’ve lost the way I never found

when will it all come back around?

I took these steps that I made

and there isn’t anything I would trade

because I’m the person I wanna be

if you’ve got a problem with that, let that problem be

cause I’m losing it, I don’t know why

I’m losing more every time I try.

why doesn’t it make sense?

why am I so confused?

why does it feel like I always lose?

hold on, let’s take one step back

I want to try to replay this track

just to see why I started to slip

and how come I just lost my grip

because:

a couple more steps and I would’ve caught the stars

a couple more steps and I could’ve hit mars

a couple more steps and I would’ve never met you

a couple more steps and all my days would’ve been blue

a couple more steps and I would’ve jumped off my cliff

a couple more steps and my life could have been a whole new riff
