I know why you don't trust nobody
But you don't need to feel that way tonight
You know that I will always be somebody
To rely on, everytime

So close your eyes, think of all the good things
That you have in your love and your life
All the hurtin', all the screamin'
All the rhymes without the reasons
Are gone now, leave them behind

But you don't need to be afraid
I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you, baby
Take it all from me
And I promise you this
You'll never be alone anywhere and crying
By your side is where I'll be
Every step of the way
With very little breath you take
Every step of the way
You know I'm gonna stay and always keep you safe
Every step of the way

You can't hide from me
knowing how you're feelin'
Cause I can tell by the look on your face
All the waitin', all the cry-outs
Feeling like you're gonna break down
Girl, it's over, so turn the page

But you don't need to be afraid
I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you, baby
Take it all from me
And I promise you this
You'll never be alone anywhere and crying
By your side is where I'll be
Every step of the way
With very little breath you take
Every step of the way
You know I'm gonna stay and always keep you safe
Every step of the way

I'm not worried 'bout the future
I'm not thinkin' about the past
I know where we are right now
And I know that it's gonna last
But if I ever woulda told you
I'm here forever and always
Then you know that I'd never walk away

But you don't need to be afraid
I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you, baby
Take it all from me
And I promise you this
You'll never be alone anywhere and crying
By your side is where I'll be
Every step of the way
With very little breath you take
Every step of the way
You know I'm gonna stay and always keep you safe
Every step of the way
