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
