[Verse 1]
The weight of the world on your shoulders
The silence so deafenin'
Know that there's hurt on the table
And the walls are closing in

[Pre-Chorus]
I know sometimes it's so black and white
It's even harder with pain in those eyes

[Chorus]
When you cried every river dry
When you're a stranger in your own life
When you need somebody, you need somebody to hold
When you're cold out on the bridge
And the pavement's givin' in
I'll be your lifeline, a hand that you know

[Post-Chorus]
When you're needin' it the most
When you're needin' it the most

[Verse 2]
The fear of losin' the battle
When the fight is within yourself
Alone and locked up in your castle
Let me in if you need my help
[Pre-Chorus]
I know sometimes it's so black and white
It's even harder with pain in those eyes

[Chorus]
When you cried every river dry
When you're a stranger in your own life
When you need somebody, you need somebody to hold (Hold)
When you're cold out on the bridge
And the pavement's givin' in
I'll be your lifeline, a hand that you know

[Post-Chorus]
When you're needin' it the most
When you're needin' it the most

[Outro]
Oh, when you cried every river dry
When you're a stranger in your own life
I'll be your lifeline, a hand that you know
