I'll Be There (acoustic version)

You've felt alone since you were only seven Your mother didn't have a clue what to do You cried each night until you were eleven You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you It got much worse when you were in high school From guy to guy, you wondered why you never felt a thing You wondered if you'd ever find a lover who'd someday Get down on his knees, holding that diamond ring This summer's taking me to California But I won't go until you know that what I say is true When everything you've ever loved has left you, I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you Your senior year, you and your friends went crazy But then you found out who your friends really were You were betrayed by everyone that mattered So you drank until it all became a blur But don't forget about when I first met you Well, I can see a pain too deep to kiss away You thought that I would be another let down So here I am, proving to you that I am here to stay This summer's taking me to California But I won't go until you know that what I say is true When everything you've ever loved has left you, I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you I don't wanna leave you lonely I just wanna be right here Even if you don't believe me, I will try to make it clear This summer's taking me to California But I won't go until you know that what I say is true When everything you've ever loved has left you, I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for... This summer's taking me to California But I won't go until you know that what I say is true When everything you've ever loved has left you, I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you This summer's taking me to California But I won't go until you know that what I say is true When everything you've ever loved has left you, I'll be there, I'll be there for you
