I shoulda been there to dry the hell off your face
I shoulda been there to catch your fall outta grace
Funny how I left without a trace
I shoulda been there to hold your breath while you sleep
I shoulda been there to draw the line through your dreams
Cuz of shame I stayed behind the scenes
Fare thee well, I'm just a fair-weather friend
Any sign of clouds and I'll be leavin'
I shoulda been there to flame your fire till the end
In the end I'm left without a friend
I was afraid your depth would drag me down too
But you forgave me and you stay tried and true
You must love me more than I do you
