Follow Me / Follow You
Van Velzen Lyrics
Sometimes in life
It can be hard
To figure out the right way
So many roads
You walk alone
Fighting to make it through the day
Lost in a maze
You try to go back
Wanting to find the right track
And when you’re up against the wall
I will stick with you through it all
Every time you break
I’ll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I’ll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I’ll follow you
I know your pain
I see the tears
That you won’t show to anyone
I see your eyes
The hurt and the lies
No need to pretend it’s all right
Cause I’ve been there too
And I made it through
And I will be right beside you
You don’t have to face this world alone, no
Every time you break
I’ll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I’ll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I’ll follow you
I’ll be your place to hide
I’ll be by your side
No matter what you do
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
It can be hard
To figure out the right way
So many roads
You walk alone
Fighting to make it through the day
Lost in a maze
You try to go back
And when you’re up against the wall
I will stick with you through it all
Every time you break
I’ll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I’ll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I’ll follow you
I know your pain
I see the tears
That you won’t show to anyone
I see your eyes
The hurt and the lies
No need to pretend it’s all right
Cause I’ve been there too
And I made it through
And I will be right beside you
You don’t have to face this world alone, no
Every time you break
I’ll break in pieces
Every time you fall
I’ll fall with you
At the end of every road
I will be there
In the darkest night
I'm shining through
Follow me and I’ll follow you
I’ll be your place to hide
I’ll be by your side
No matter what you do
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
