[Verse 1]
A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
Staring over the edge
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
[Verse 2]
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
[Bridge]
And I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
So I pray to God not holding on
To things you left undone
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
(Wide, wide open)
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
(Wide, wide open)
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
(Wide, wide open)
[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
(Wide, wide open)
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
(Wide, wide open)
[Ending]
You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed
