[Verse 1]
I guess this time you're really leavin'
I heard your suitcase say, "Goodbye"
As my broken heart lies bleedin'
You say, "True love is suicide"
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimmin' for the shore
You let me drown in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'm prayin' to God for one more chance

[Chorus]
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I want to be the air for you
I'll be thеre for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Stеal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

[Verse 2]
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hidin' place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
Baby, you know my hands are dirty
I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water if you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for—

[Bridge]
I wasn't there when you were happy
(Wasn't there when you were happy, I wasn't there when you were down)
I wasn't there when you were down (there when you were down, down, down)
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you, I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
