I'm having one of those days

where I feel like I'm in reverse

And everything that I say

sounds like it's been rehearsed



[Pre-Chorus]

Don't let it go too far, boy

Don't let it go too far

Don't let it, don't let it go too far



[Chorus]

While everyone tears me apart,

would you be there for me?

Could you be there for me?

And I'm always breaking your heart,

but will you be there for me?

Could you be there for me?



So just how strong are those arms

as they carry the weight of the world?

And just how far is too far

'Cause the boy always loses the girl



[Pre-Chorus]

Don't let it go too far, boy

Don't let it go too far

Don't let it, don't let it go too far



[Chorus]

While everyone tears me apart,

would you be there for me?

Could you be there for me?

And I'm always breaking your heart,

but could you be there for me?

Would you be there for me?



I always thought that the mind was a waste of time

Yeah, now I think that those thoughts are a friend of mine

Yeah, could you be there for me?



[Chorus]

While everyone tears me apart,

would you be there for me?

Would you be there for me?



Don't let it go too far, boy

Don't let it go too far

Don't let it, don't let it go too far [x8]



Could you be there for me?
