You were standing there, just beyond the light Holding my hand through every fight My heartbeat, my breath, my silent guide The strength that kept my dreams alive You were my star behind the scenes Healing my wounds, calming my screams With just one touch, you'd wash away the pain Your love, a soft and healing rain All I needed was right here beside me Lost in shadows while you lit my way Is it true that angels walk among us? Now I know how deeply you loved me (Oh, how you loved me) Waiting in the wings, night after night Telling me I'd shine so bright I felt your love in every breath I'd take Every melody, every note we'd make But now there's just this emptiness inside You waited backstage, but I arrived too late Too late to say I loved you too I was trapped, so blind I couldn't see Your heart was mine since we were barely teens While drowning in someone else's toxic sea You were my shelter, my sanctuary, my peace All I needed was right here beside me Lost in shadows while you lit my way Is it true that angels walk among us? Now I know how deeply you loved me (Oh, how you loved me) The spotlight's burning, but I'm cold inside Without you here to be my guide I'd trade these stages, these songs I've sung Just to see you smiling where you belong (Where you always belonged) All I needed was right here beside me Lost in shadows while you lit my way Is it true that angels walk among us? Now I know how deeply you loved me (Oh, how you loved me) Waiting in the wings, one last embrace Your love was written all over my face I feel your spirit in every song I sing A love so pure, it breaks my heart's wing You waited backstage, now I understand The truest love was always in your hand Too late to say I love you Too late, but I love you Too late to say I love you Too late, but I love you I love you
