Lyrics

There's a light behind your eyes
I see it shining
It only fades when you cry
There's a heart that beats so strong
I feel it dying
When the night time lasts too long
Now you and I have lived out centuries
And all I can say is what you've offered to me
Please don't be scared
'Cause I've stood there too
Between survival
And the right thing to do
'Cause only the strong
Admit their fears
And if you really need me
I'll always be here
The parties and the lights
Fade to memories
In the still of the night
And you wonder in your mind
If there's nothing left
To show for all the time
'Cause feeling pain's a hard way to know you're still alive
But someday someone will make you glad you survived
So please don't be scared
'Cause I've stood there too
Between survival
And the right thing to do
'Cause only the strong
Admit their fears
And if you really need me
I'll always be here
'Cause feeling pain's a hard way to know you're still alive
But someday someone will make you glad you survived
Please don't be scared
'Cause I've stood there too
Between survival
And the right thing to do
'Cause only the strong
Admit their fears
And if you really need me
Oh, I'll always be here
No matter where you are
If you really need me
I'm never far
