If I could have seen your sweet smile sooner,
Just know I would have been there.
Even if you were smiling at her.

If I could have been there every night
that you sobbed on your knees . . .
I would have sobbed at your side,
I would have held your hand and never let go.

I would have cried with you those lonely nights,
Not because I didn't have you . . .
But because she was hurting you,
And you loved her.

When the world walked out,
I embraced you.
I told you I would be there forever.
And then at that moment,
I became the moon that shone down on you
in your darkest hour.

When love crumbles on you,
Again and again,
Take my hand.
When you think the door has closed
and you're all alone,
Listen for it creaking open.

And I'll be the moonlight creeping in.
I promise to be here forever.
No matter how much it hurts me.
