not going anywhere

When you're down, and you're broken And all your fires burn low And every door that looks open Turns out to be closed I'll make sure that you know That you're not on your own 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere Slowly but steady You lit up the way, carried my weight And brought out the best me Hiding the pain, cover your face While you would protect me Now I'm in my '20s, ooh, ooh And now that I'm older I'm starting to see all of the scars It left on your shoulders And all that is left Are plenty of tapes on your video recorder And if they made me choose I would do it all for you, too When you're down, and you're broken And all your fires burn low And every door that looks open Turns out to be closed I'll make sure that you know That you're not on your own 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere And times keep on changing But the memories aren't gone And I know that I moved out But I'll never move on I just hope that you know That you're never alone 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere I still hear your footsteps When I was awake, pretending to sleep But you came to check in Now once in a while, I look at the door And wish you were right there When I'm having a nightmare, ooh, ooh I wish I could repay All the time that you gave Without asking it back I wish I said When you're down, and you're broken And all your fires burn low And every door that looks open Turns out to be closed I'll make sure that you know That you're not on your own 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere And times keep on changing But the memories aren't gone And I know that I moved out But I'll never move on I just hope that you know That you're never alone 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere When you're down, and you're broken And all your fires burn low And every door that looks open Turns out to be closed I'll make sure that you know That you're not on your own 'Cause I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere
