A promise or a dare
I would jump if
I knew you'd cacth 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
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've never asked you for
I pray that when the wick has burned
You would say that it's all about love
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
And I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
So I pray to God not holding on
To things you left undone

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 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 there when I
You were there when I
You were there when
I needed
