Words and Music by Patrick Fleming, Jr.
When you take a look around
There?s not a soul left to be found
No one to catch you when you fall
Except for me by default
When I listen to your voice
It?s like you have no other choice
No one to help you try to crawl
Except for me by default
Everyone has left you stranded
But you did it single-handed
You always said we bring it all upon ourselves
Everyone has turned away
But you don?t remember that day
I walked into you life and tried to help
You had your back against the wall
And I was there if only by default
And every time you apologize
About turning to me to confide
It makes me wonder about it all
And if I?m here by default
So I suppose I?m not the one
Who you?d prefer to be leaning on
But there?s no one else for you to call
I guess that leaves me by default
Maybe I am just crumbling beneath this weight
Maybe I?m just trying to save face
Maybe I?m the one really is in need of help
You always said we bring it all upon ourselves
So when you?re back on solid ground
Will you still want me around
I was always there, don?t you recall
Even if only by default
