[Verse 1] I've been down roads I thought would break me Lost in ways I can't explain When every voice inside was saying That I'd never rise again But somewhere in that long dark falling Your hand reached out and held me still You didn't ask for explanations You just loved me through it all [Pre-Chorus] When I couldn't find the strength to stand You believed when no one else would [Chorus] You were there When the weight was more than I could carry You were there Speaking truth when I was barely breathing Every time I stumbled, every time I fell You stayed right beside me Through the fire, through the fear, through it all You were there [Verse 2] I never told you what it meant to me How you saw past all my walls You knew the man I could become Before I knew it myself at all There's healing in the way you listened There's strength in how you never walked away [Pre-Chorus] I'm still learning how to say the words But I need you to know [Chorus] You were there When the weight was more than I could carry You were there Speaking truth when I was barely breathing Every time I stumbled, every time I fell You stayed right beside me Through the fire, through the fear, through it all You were there [Bridge] Some people spend their whole lives searching For what you gave to me A voice that says you're not alone When alone is all you see I owe you more than I can say But I'll try anyway [Final Chorus] You were there When the weight was more than I could carry You were there Believing in me when I stopped believing Every time I stumbled, every time I fell You stayed right beside me Through the fire, through the fear, through it all Baby, you were there [Outro] Yeah, you were there You were there
