I'll Be There For You
Bon Jovi Lyrics

I guess this time you're really leaving
It seems like you're actually leaving this time

I heard your suitcase say goodbye
I can hear your suitcase shutting, signifying your departure

Well, as my broken heart lies bleeding
As my heart is broken and in pain

You say true love, it's suicide
You believe that true love is dangerous and could result in harm

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
You claim to have cried uncontrollably

And now you're swimming for the shore
You are trying to escape the situation

You left me drowning in my tears
You left me feeling overwhelmed and helpless

And you won't save me anymore
You have given up on saving me

I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'm hoping that you will give me another opportunity to make things right

I'll be there for you
No matter what, I will always be there for you

These five words I swear to you
I promise you these five words are true

When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I want to be as essential to you as the air you breathe

I'd live and I'd die for you
I would do anything, even give up my life, for you

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
I would do the impossible, like stealing the sun from the sky, for you

Words can't say what love can do
Love goes beyond what words can express

I know you know we've had some good times
I am aware that we have had some happy memories

Now they have their own hiding place
Those good times are now memories that we have to find and cherish

Well, I can promise you tomorrow
I can guarantee you a happy future

But I can't buy back yesterday
I cannot change the past and undo our mistakes

Yeah, baby, you know my hands are dirty
I have made mistakes and have flaws

(Oh, woman, you know my hands are dirty)
(Oh, my love, you are aware of my imperfections)

But I wanted to be your Valentine
I wanted to be your special someone on Valentine's Day

I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
I will be there to quench your thirst and supply your needs

When you get drunk, I'll be the wine, oh
I will be there to lift you up and make you feel good

I wasn't there when you were happy
I was not around during your happy times

(I wasn't there to make you happy)
(I was not there to contribute to your happiness)

And I wasn't there when you were down, down
I was not there to support you during your difficult times

Didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I did not intend to miss your special day

I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I regret not being there to witness you blowing out your candles
