I'll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand,
Or a kamikaze fighter
Dont count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand,
Or hold my ground;
You'll never see
Any scars or wounds
I dont walk on coals,
I wont walk on water
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
I am not anyones wildest dream,
But I will stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.
Some comedy
You're bruised and beaten down
And Im the one
Whos looking for a favor.
Still, honestly,
You dont believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need.
You look at me
Like I dont make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
And if thats what you believe you need,
Youre wrong - you dont need much,
You need someone to fall back on...
And I'll be that:
I'll take your side.
If Im the only one,
Im used to that.
I've been alone,
Id rather be
The half of us,
The least of you,
The best of me.
And I will be
i'll be Your prince,
I'll be your saint,
I will go crashing through fences
In your name. I will, I swear
I'll be someone to fall back on!
I'll be the one who waits,
And for as long as youll let me,
I will be the one you need.
I'll be someone to fall back on
i'll be someone to fall back on
one to fall back on
