Don't tell me this is all for nothing I can only tell you one thing On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere I see everything you can be I see the beauty that you can't see On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere I could have showed you all the scars at the start But that was always the most difficult part See, I'm in love with how your soul's a mix of chaos and art And how you never try to keep 'em apart I wrote some words and then I stared at my feet Became a coward when I needed to speak I guess love took on a different kind of meaning for me So when I go just know it kills me to leave To all the stars that light the road Don't ever leave that girl so cold Never let me down, just lead me home Don't tell me this is all for nothing I can only tell you one thing On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere I see everything you can be I see the beauty that you can't see On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere But there's beauty here that's yet to depart There's still a song inside the halls in the dark I'll come for you, if you just stay where you are And I'll always hold your hand in the car And there'll be days when it's difficult But I ask you to never leave behind the reciprocal, we're past that Love is not designed for the cynical So we have that, we can have that To all the stars that light the road Don't ever leave that girl so cold Never let me down, just lead me home Don't tell me this is all for nothing I can only tell you one thing On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere I see everything you can be I see the beauty that you can't see On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere How long can you wait for the one you deserve? Light on, never let it out, never let it out If I'm gone, if you ever leave I hope that you learn To fight on, to fight on Don't tell me this is all for nothing I can only tell you one thing On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere I see everything you can be I see the beauty that you can't see On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere (How long?) Baby, I'll be out there somewhere, somewhere, somewhere (How long?) Baby, I'll be out there somewhere, somewhere
