I'll Be Here


When the rain comes and you're long gone

I'll be here

When you're beaten and battered

I'll be there

When you're so out of your mind and don't know what to do

I'll be there

When you move on

I'll be here

When you make a mistake

I'll be here

When you fall down

I'll be here

 

When I just want to talk

You'll be gone

When i need someone

You'll be gone

When i feel so lost

You'll be gone

When i'm so confused, so broken, so scared

You'll be gone

 

But i expected that anyway

I knew it would happen

It always happens

It doesn’t hurt any less

Clear and to the point. I like the honesty of this, and how you crafted it by the shift from" I'll" to " you'll", that was a skillful technique.
