"Standing By You" lyrics

I kept you warm
I stopped the storms from coming
When your heart was broken
I was there and you know it

For far too long
You'd call and I'd come running
When the doors were closing
I left mine wide open

Trying to catch all the pieces as they fall out of place
Wreck my own reputation just so you can save face
Every move that you're making's only making it worse
You don't deserve

All the time that I wasted
All the love that I gave
I'll never get back from you
All the times I defended
You when everyone else said
I should cut you loose

'Cause you're bad, bad news
Left me black and blue
Standing by you
Standing by you
Standing by you

Nothing to show
Another road to nowhere
Said it's all my fault
Do you really wanna go there?

Do it alone
Go find another shoulder
It's a long way down
Only want me now
That's it's over

Trying to catch all the pieces as they fall out of place
Wreck my own reputation just so you can save face
Every move that you're making's only making it worse
You don't deserve

All the time that I wasted
All the love that I gave
I'll never get back from you
All the times I defended
You when everyone else said
I should cut you loose

'Cause you're bad, bad news
Left me black and blue
Standing by you
Standing by you
Standing by you

I wish it wasn't what it is
But I don't wanna live like this
Gave you the keys, you crashed the car
Now rumour is I broke your heart

I'm not surprised you bend the truth
Those lying eyes look good on you
I wish you well, I really do
But we're through

'Cause you're bad, bad news
Left me black and blue
Standing by you
Standing by you
Standing by you
