not going anywhere

When you're down, and you're broken
And all your fires burn low
And every door that looks open
Turns out to be closed
I'll make sure that you know
That you're not on your own
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere

Slowly but steady
You lit up the way, carried my weight
And brought out the best me
Hiding the pain, cover your face
While you would protect me
Now I'm in my '20s, ooh, ooh

And now that I'm older
I'm starting to see all of the scars
It left on your shoulders
And all that is left
Are plenty of tapes on your video recorder
And if they made me choose
I would do it all for you, too

When you're down, and you're broken
And all your fires burn low
And every door that looks open
Turns out to be closed
I'll make sure that you know
That you're not on your own
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere

And times keep on changing
But the memories aren't gone
And I know that I moved out
But I'll never move on
I just hope that you know
That you're never alone
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere

I still hear your footsteps
When I was awake, pretending to sleep
But you came to check in
Now once in a while, I look at the door
And wish you were right there
When I'm having a nightmare, ooh, ooh

I wish I could repay
All the time that you gave
Without asking it back
I wish I said

When you're down, and you're broken
And all your fires burn low
And every door that looks open
Turns out to be closed
I'll make sure that you know
That you're not on your own
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere

And times keep on changing
But the memories aren't gone
And I know that I moved out
But I'll never move on
I just hope that you know
That you're never alone
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere

When you're down, and you're broken
And all your fires burn low
And every door that looks open
Turns out to be closed
I'll make sure that you know
That you're not on your own
'Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere
