You Were There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
This one is just for you
You were there in my life since I opened my eyes
Helped me find the way, pains went all away
You knew then the things that many can't notice
You are the main part of anything
You drew the line, when I myself was unable
(You say you are not perfect, I don't need you to be)
I have your sweat and tears to thank for growing to be this stable
(What if all comes down to what matters? That you are there for me)
You gave my life the meaning it needed
Without you I just cannot survive
You helped me when I was in trouble
Helped me with a dream, dream that I wanted to follow
I'm sure it's hard, I know it now
The courage it will take to pick me up when falling down
You are there for me
You make me wanna try harder for all you've done for me and my brother
To me nobody can't be above
Guess all I wanna say is, I love you
How can I pay you back? Time passes way too fast
I wanna hold on to all the things that made you laugh
I promise I will fight, I fight through all my darkest nights
So I can show you how much I love this life
What matters? That you are there for me
I love you
