When you think you’ve had enough
your troubles got the best of you
your friends they all forget your name -
I’ll be there.
I’m the one that’s always here for you.
When your record player skips
and when your pistol just won’t shoot
your telephone won’t connect -
I’ll be there, but remember that I’m broken too.
I ain’t afraid of anything but losing you.
‘Cause if the world takes everything we own you got me and we won’t be alone.
So hang onto this broken heart of stone.
We’re broken but we’ll never be alone.
When your drinks have all gone dry
your wallet runs out too soon
the cupboards they are bare inside -
I’ll be there, but remember that I’m empty too.
So every time you need a rest
your soul is feeling black and blue
you’re thinking you’re the only one -
I’ll be there, but remember that I’m just like you.
I ain’t afraid of anything but losing you.
But if the world takes everything we own you got me and we won’t be alone.
so hang onto this empty heart of stone.
we’re empty but we’ll never be alone.
We’re broken but we’ll never be alone.
