Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hands, put your empty hands in mine

And scars, show me all the scars you hide

And hey, if your wings are broken

Please take mine so yours can open too

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

[PreChorus]

Oh, tears, make kaleidoscopes in your eyes

And hurt, I know you're hurting but so am I

And love, if your wings are broken

Borrow mine so yours can open too

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breakin' down

We can find a way to break through

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

[Verse 2]

Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed

And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating

And love, if your wings are broken

We can brave through those emotions too

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

[PreChorus]

And oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in

And faith, I think faith is havin' reason

And ah, no, no, love, if your wings are broken

Borrow mine so yours can open too

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breakin' down

We can find a way to break through

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

[Bridge]

I'll be your eyes, till yours can shine

And I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite

And when you can't rise

Well, I'll crawl with you on hands and knees 'cause I

[Chorus]

I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breakin' down

We can find a way to break through

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we can't find Heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

Love, you're not alone

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Love, you're not alone

Oh, I'm gonna stand by you

[Outro]

(Even if we can't find Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven) I'm gonna stand by you
