Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald also co-wrote the song, whilst production was helmed by Gottwald under his production name Dr. Luke. It was co-produced by Steven Wolf and Max Beckley and Smit. It is a piano and guitar led song. It garnered a mixed response from music critics, with some critics praising Lewis's vocal performance and delivery, whilst others described it as emotionless. Upon the release of Spirit in November 2007, the song peaked at number 160 on the UK Singles Chart due to strong digital download sales.

Throughout January to March 2009, it also made an impact on the Canadian and United States charts; in the former it peaked at number 83, while it peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the latter. However, it was more successful on the US Adult Pop Songs and Pop Songs charts, peaking at numbers 23 and 24, respectively. As part of promotion, a music video was shot in New York City and featured Chace Crawford as Lewis's love interest. In January 2009, she performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman.

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me

All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go

I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

I will be, all that you want
And gather myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything ok

I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly

You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, 'cause you're here with me

And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
'Cause I would never let you go

I will be, all that you want
And gather myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything ok

'Cause without you I cant breathe
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I've got, you're all I want
Oh

'Cause without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see,
You're all I need

And I will be, all that you want
And gather myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything ok

And I will be, all that you want
And gather myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything ok
