I'll Be There
Emma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm glad you're happy
I never want her to leave
But if you're ever crying yourself to sleep
You know where I'll be

I'll be there
When you're hurt, when you're scared
I'll be there
When everything sucks and life's not fair
I'll be there
Even when you're gone and you're not with me
Because that's how much I care about you being happy

I'll be there
When the world collapses
Through all the relapses
When nothing feels right
When you can't sleep at night
I'll be by your side

I'll be there
When you're hurt, when you're scared
I'll be there
When everything sucks and life's not fair
I'll be there
Even when you're gone and you're not with me
Because that's how much I care about you being happy

No matter what you do
No matter what I see
I promise you that I will never leave
I don't want you to lose her
I never want you to be hurt
But I promise I'll be here forever and ever

When you broke down crying
Because you were sick of lying
Tired of pretending to be okay
You didn't know what to say
I was there
I was with you
I did everything that she would never do
I'll be there
I'll be there for you

I'll be there
When you're hurt, when you're scared
I'll be there
When everything sucks and life's not fair
I'll be there
Even when you're gone and you're not with me
Because that's how much I care about you being happy

I'll be there
Even when you say goodbye
I'll be there
Even after every fight
I'll be there
Always by your side
When you're lost and alone and you're scared
You can always count on me




You know exactly where I'll be
I'll be there
