Just when you think you know where you stand, just when you feel secure
Someone walks in and changes all your plans
Right when you had your feet on the ground, finally self-assured
Somehow it all just slipped right through your hands

Where can you run when the walls of your dreams come tumbling down?
Where can you run when the world you believed in has broken its vow?
When you don't know where to turn you can believe
I'll be there for you the way you were for me

Just when you had the game figured out, mastered all the moves
Someone walks in and changes all the rules
Where are the people you thought were your friends after they heard the news?
Hard to believe they would turn their backs on you 

Where can you run when the walls of your dreams come tumbling down?
And where can you run when the world you believed in and all way around?
When you need some love in your darkness you will see
I'll be there for you the way you were for me

When you don't know where to turn you can believe
I'll be there when hope has disappeared in your darkest hour of need
I'll be there for you the way you were for me
For me, yeah
