No one can say
You didn't want to fly
You went your own way
And weren't afraid to try
Now you feel so alone
When your dreams aren't always what they seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
You've fallen from grace
And given up the fight
But you know life finds a way
When there's no hope inside
And you're not alone
When your dreams aren't always what they seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
Always
Always
Oh, when your dreams aren't always what the seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there
(You give all you got)
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
Always
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
You didn't want to fly
You went your own way
And weren't afraid to try
Now you feel so alone
When your dreams aren't always what they seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
You've fallen from grace
And given up the fight
But you know life finds a way
When there's no hope inside
And you're not alone
When your dreams aren't always what they seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
Always
Always
Oh, when your dreams aren't always what the seem
You give all you got
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there
(You give all you got)
Still get hurt
Still get torn in two
When the battle seems lost
I'll be there
I'll be there for you (there for you)
Always
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
