[Chorus]
I'll be there for you (With my eyes shut)

For you (With my eyes shut)
I'll be there for you
[Verse 2]
I'm paralyzed, tryin' to breathe, but it's getting harder (Felt good to be your friend)

For you (With my eyes shut)
For you (With my eyes shut; I'll be there)
Yeah, I'll be there for you (With my eyes shut)
For you (With my eyes shut)
For you (With my eyes shut; Yeah, I'll be there)
Yeah, I'll be there for you (With my eyes shut; My eyes)
For you (With my eyes shut; Ah-ah)
For you (With my eyes shut; Ah)
Yeah, I'll be there for you (With my eyes shut; I'll be there for you)
For you (With my eyes shut)
For you (With my eyes shut, with my eyes shut)
[Outro]
I'll be there for you
