Ceased

The crying ceased, silence surrounds her now
Did the choice prove right?
Regrets still lie ahead

Questions pass through her mind,
not knowing what answers she might find
Wondering what obstacles lie ahead, a part of her now feels dead

And I try to understand her pain, her agony
As she rests her head on my shoulder
I think to myself, “She had a choice”
But did she listen to the right voice

Chorus
Oh, what could I do, but be there for you
So, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there for you
Need a shoulder to cry on, I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there, I’ll be there I’ll be there for you
I said I swear, I swear, I swear I will be there

Well she says,” Why, why did you leave me?”
Well she says,”Why, why did you come right back?”
Tell me how should I take this? Tell me, how should I take this?

I never needed you more than I do right now
Yet, it’s now that you walk out the door
I thought I knew you, you proved me wrong
And now I’m tired and I ‘m not gonna take it anymore

Chorus
The heartbeat ceased, no more worries
Well, at least not like before
So what can I do but be there for you
So I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there for you
Need a shoulder to cry on, I’ll be there for you
Well, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there for you
I said I swear, I swear, I swear I will be there
Well I said I swear, I will be there
Oh, I said I swear, I will be there
Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya
Need a shoulder to cry on, I’ll be there for you
You need a shoulder to cry on, I ‘ll be there for you
Well I said I swear, I will be there (2X)
