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

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

I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you've left undone

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 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 there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you

@@SONG: Weighed Down

Light of the world
Are you still here?
And are we illuminating?
When love becomes a delicate display
So weak, dissolved by anything

Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?

Our hearts, a bubble maker's dream
Moved on by winds of everything
As we deny that love is still the king
Not as weak as we make him out to be

Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?

Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
