I see you, see right through you
Your silent charade
That keeps you from feeling your pain
You've been stained and left to blame
And misunderstood
You doubt anyone sees what they should, but

I promise I'll be around
That's what my love's all about
Standing by you when you're down
I promise I'll be around

I see you as you were me
Open and running free
Believing in everything
You still the same one, just undone
And wiser for what's to come
And ready again to love

I promise I'll be around
That's what my love's all about
Standing by you when you're down
I promise I'll be around

And all the nights out in the cold
Way beyond those fears, oh, no one knows
Believe that every time
Your heart is broken down
I'll pick you up off the ground

I promise I'll be around
That's what my love's all about
Standing by you when you're down
I promise I'll be around

I promise I'll be around
That's what my love's all about
Standing by you when you're down
I promise I'll be around

I promise I'll be around
That's what my love's all about
Standing by you when you're down
I promise I'll be around
