I'll be here just the same
I'll be here waiting in the shadows, here riding out the rough waves
Anything more, I don't want anything more than to restore your happiness
So if you say you have to leave now

I remember how contagious your smile was the day you told me about her 
Months flew by; I watched love blossom from the sidelines
Stories unfold across the table at the diner

And I held you as things decomposed
Your worry for her took control
Your eyes showed to me that that love was true
Watched as storms brewed beneath your skin
Your walls crumbled, you let me in
I found I'd do anything for you

Don't you know I'll be here just the same
I'll be here waiting in the shadows, here riding out the rough waves 
Anything more, I don't want anything more than to ensure your happiness 
So if you say you have to leave now, maybe it's for the best

I remember the look of devastation on your face you tried so hard to hide
Buildings tumbled, we all fumbled for our balance
And waited for the dangerous tremors to subside

Still we kept playing this chess game
With hearts as pawns and exchanged shameful melodies only the two of us heard
It killed me to watch you suffer as you struggled to recover
Swore I'd clean up everything that occurred

But don't you know I'll be here just the same
I'll be here waiting in the shadows, here riding out the rough waves 
Anything more, I don't want anything more than to restore your happiness
So if you say you have to leave now, maybe it's for the best

I'll right these wrongs; I'll carry the weight
If it means saving two, I'll be the one to take the heartbreak
You know some things are too good to let slip away
Some things I shouldn't have condoned
But still, I promise you that you will never ever be alone
I remember; I'll remember

Oh don't you know I'll be here always
No matter what you choose now, I'll be here if you need me one day 
Anything more, I don't want anything more than to ensure your happiness 
So if you say you have to leave now
If you say you need to leave me now
If she says you have to leave me now, maybe it's for the best

I'll remember
