Standing By You

I kept you warm, I stopped the storms from comin'
When your heart was broken, I was there, and you know it
For far too long, you'd call and I'd come runnin'
When the doors were closin', I left mine wide open

Tryin' 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 makin's only makin' 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
Standin' by you
Standin' by you
Standin' by you

Nothin' 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

Tryin' 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 makin's only makin' 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
Standin' by you
Standin' by you
Standin' 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 rumor is I broke your heart
I'm not surprised you bend the truth
Those lyin' 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
Standin' by you
Standin' by you
Standin' by you
