Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Darling, this world ain't for the faint of heart, nah

Feel like we were made to fall apart

[PreChorus]

I can build your heart an army (Yeah)

Don't gotta do this all by yourself

If you need someone, you call me (Yeah)

You got me (Yeah)

You got me

[Chorus]

Oh, I can be your lifeline

Stay with you till the sunrise

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I can be the reason

That you don't feel your demons

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh, I could be your lifeline

[PreChorus]

Highs and lows, lights will glow (Yeah, uh)

And they'll fade (Yeah)

Reach your hand out in the dark

And I'll meet you halfway

[PreChorus]

'Cause your heart's an army (Yes, it is)

Don't gotta do this all by yourself

If you need someone, you call me (All you gotta do)

You got me (All you gotta do)

You got me

[Chorus]

Oh, I can be your lifeline

Stay with you till the sunrise

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I can be the reason

That you don't feel your demons

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh

[Bridge]

Look to your left, look to your right

I'll be right here, I'll be by your side

Look to your left, look to your right

I'll be right here, I'll be by your side

Look to your left, look to your right

I'll be right here, I'll be by your side

Look to your left, look to your right

I'll be right here

[Chorus]

Oh, I can be your lifeline

Stay with you till the sunrise

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I can be the reason

That you don't feel your demons

When you're low, it don't mean you're alone

I'll be by your side

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh, I could be your lifeline

Oh, I could be your lifeline

[Outro]

You don't have to worry

No, no, no, no, no, no

You don't have to be alone

No, no, no, no, no, no

You don't have to be alone
