Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your heart's a mess though you've given your best
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got more then I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
When your sky is dark and the earth is shaking your bed
Your hope is at its end you just need one friend
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
When you cant find you're way and all around you walks as deep and grey
The stars fall from above and you're barely holding on my love (on my love)
Giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
