Lyrics
How long have you been watching?
Did you see me fall down --
Did you watch me shatter into pieces on the ground?
What are you thinking?
Wish I could read your mind --
You watched me sinking and you could have cut the line...
You stayed by my side.
You stayed with me
You stayed with me
You made me see I could get by
You stayed with me
In this state of me
No, you did not need to fly
I was in shadow
So deep in doubt
All locked inside me with no way to let it out
In my darkest moments
about to give up the fight
You came in with me and you covered me with light
You stayed by my side
You stayed with me
You stayed with me
You made me see I could get by
You stayed with me
In this state of me
No, you did not need to fly
I never thought I ever could be free of the shadows weighing on me --
You were a light that let me see.
CHORUS
