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
