Song Description

A song about loving an addict, but knowing when to step back and take care of yourself and love from afar. The words "I'll always be there to love you" aren't meant to be so literal as, I'll never leave you, but more that I will always have love for you and wish you well. That's what I wrote the song about, but it's very much open to the listener to decide what the song means to them. It could be meaningful to a parent dealing with a tough situation with their adult child.. or someone going through loss of a loved one.

Lyrics

Oh hun you've soaked your shirt
Left a trail of your tears in the dirt
Now I'm drying your whiskey spilt tears
You'll never taste happiness till you face your fears

Promise me you won't give up on yourself
Oh I haven't given up I just wanna be someone else
And if you forget look up
Your Mama's lookin down
And I'll always be there
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always

You think that your world has to end
But you've got so much to live for my friend
And if you're thinking of me
I hope you grab a guitar and play

Promise me you won't give up on yourself
I haven't given up I just wanna be someone else
And if you forget look up
Your Mama's lookin down
And I'll always be there
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always

And Promise you won't give up on love

I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always
I'll always be there to love you
Always
