there are times when i look through the fears
and the past
and the tears
and the times i didn t think you were there

and there you were standing there
all the time standing there
even when i told you no

there were times when i asked for you
asked for the truth "be true"
asked for my memories here
and at times i didn t ask for much
but you gave me everything still

there were times i didn t think you were there
but you were there all the time standing right there

and when i don t think it through
when i don t look for you
and when i don t try my very best
you are there telling me
telling me i can be
anything i want to, now

and there you were standing there
all the time standing there
even when i told you no
and all those times when i asked for you
asked for you to tell the truth
you always told me what you knew

at times i didn t ask for much
but you gave me everything, still

there were times i didn t think you were there
but there you were standing there
all the time standing
right there

i didn t ask for much
but you gave me everything
still
