Verse 1
  How does it feel to walk and empty road
  Where no one cares if you're coming home.
  Everyone you once held dear
  Left you here in this dark place
  How do you face this?
  Living through this crisis 
  With no one to call your own
  But there's still hope
 
 Chorus
  When you need someone to lean on 
  Or when you say you're done
  I'll be right by your side 
  I'll pick up the pieces of your shattered life. 
  And keep you safe from the darkness.
  So remember when you feel alone
  And you need saving 
  My heart is your haven 
  And I'll keep you close to home
 
 V2
 
  The world around you has grown cold
  By the Winter in your soul.
  The sun has set forever 
  And even the stars aren't in your favor.
  The roses you've held by the dozen
  Have become frozen
  Along with your heart.
  You don't believe in heroes anymore
  And the bitter cold drops below zero.
  But there's still hope for the sun to rise again
  Someday, so remember this.
 
 V3
  Your dreams have been buried by sadness 
  Like leaves in the fall are kept in the darkness.
  The loneliness knocked you down to your knees
  And ignored your cries and pleas.
  Don't you worry, it's not going to last forever
  I'll be your guardian angel and save you from your tormentor. 
  It'll be okay.
 
 Chorus
  When you need someone to lean on 
  Or when you say you're done
  I'll be right by your side 
  I'll pick up the pieces of your shattered life. 
  And keep you safe from the darkness.
  So remember when you feel alone
  And you need saving 
  My heart is your haven 
  And I'll keep you close to home
 
 Bridge
  Let these words keep you warm. 
  Just stay calm, 
  I'll help you be stronger.
  Things will get better
  Cause spring will come around
  And bring you back on the ground
 
 Chorus
  When you need someone to lean on 
  Or when you say you're done
  I'll be right by your side 
  I'll pick up the pieces of your shattered life. 
  And keep you safe from the darkness.
  So remember when you feel alone
  And you need saving 
  My heart is your haven 
  And I'll keep you close to home
