Sticks and stones break my bones
But only you can hurt me
You leave a hole in my heart
Whenever you desert me

I know you've always been
So fickle and capricious
But I'm still standing steadfast by you after all

Close your eyes and tell me are you okay?

Through all the troubles of life
And all your victories too
When you're afraid of the dark
I'll be fearless for you

'Cause on the loneliest nights
I'll be there right by your side
I, more than anything, hate seeing you cry

Through the window I see
A lovely allegory
Of someone stranded and trapped
In perfect purgatory
Not unlike you and me
It's not a happy story
Not knowing if we can reach heaven in the end

Keep your eyes on the prize
'Cause nothing else will matter
When you let go of the past
And watch your whole world shatter

When on what we rely
Is just a rope so tattered
We can't afford to look down at the great descent

Close your eyes and tell me are you okay?

Through all the troubles of life
And all your victories too
When you're afraid of the dark
I'll be fearless for you

'Cause on the loneliest nights
I'll be right there by your side
I, more than anything, hate seeing you cry

When I was feeling alone
You held my hand in yours tight
Like you were there for me then
I'll be there by your side

On the most hopeless of nights
I will be there with you, too
I, more than anything, hate seeing you cry
Ooh
And so I always will be faithful to you
