A promise or a dare. I would jump if I knew you'd catch 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. Chorus:. 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 never asked you for. I pray that when the wick is burned. You would say that it's all about love. [Chorus]. I can't see the promise of. Excuses you fall upon. I pray to God not holding on. To things you've left undone. [Chorus x 2]. You were there when I. You were there when I. You were there when I needed you.
