I've been waiting, I've been watching every move you make
And when I see that look in your eyes, it's more than I can take
Now I know it's all for him, reminding me what might have been
But I let you walk away, yeah
Heaven knows it ain't been easy, but in my heart I know you need me
Back in your arms again, baby
Chorus:
I'll be there when it's over
After he's gone and your world comes to an end
I'll be there when it's over
You'll never cry again, you'll never cry again
You were helpless, I was heartless, on those times I hurt you
Now I'm the one who feels the pain, 'cause there's no life at all without you
I can't accept the truth
Just knowing that he's touching you is more than I can bear
No one else can really love you like I can, so let me show you
Just how much I care
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
Even though I know it's crazy
I've been holding on and they say time will heal the pain, yeah
Heaven knows it ain't been easy
But somehow I just know you'll need me back in your arms again, baby
Chorus
(I'll be there when it's over) (repeats out)
