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
    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
    You were never here
    I remember you said
  Love was more than your good intentions
  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]
    I can't see the promise of
  Excuses you fall upon
  I pray to God not holding on
  To things you've left undone
    [Chorus x 2]
    You were there when I
  You were there when I
  You were there when I needed you
