Stand by Me Lyrics

There's only so many more dreams for you to chase

Only so many more scapegoats

Willing to carry your sins through the gates

And when your ranks grow thin

You'll search my eyes, looking for answers

But I will turn to you my back, not my face

There was no god out there

Willing to accept your sacrifice

Everything you worked so hard to hide away

Came creeping back in front of your eyes

Demons from your past

Letting you know, once and for all

That this i not over

Reminding everybody around you

That it's time to award the desert another prize

Stand by me

Stand by, stand by me

Stand by me

Stand by, stand by me

Wandering aimlessly out into the wilderness

No purpose, no goal

Constantly looking back over your shoulder

Desperate to see her coming for you

Calling your name, arms stretched out

But no one came for you

And the further you got, the deeper you plunged

Into agony and self-detriment

And at the very bottom of the well of your soul

In your most personal hell

I turned my face to you

I said your name and I saw you

Stand by me

Stand by, stand by me

Stand by me

Stand by, stand by me
