So no one told you life wasn't gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's the other way It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year But I'll be there for you When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you Like a billion years ago I'll be there for you Cause you're there for me too You're still in bed at ten and working at eight You've burned your breakfast so far but things are going great Your mother warned you there'd be days like these But she didn't tell you when the world's brought you down to your knees And I'll be there for you When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you Like a billion years ago I'll be there for you Cause you're there for me too No one could ever know me No one could ever see me Seems you're the only one who knows What it's like to be me Someone to face the day with Make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with Even in my worst, I'm best with you It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year I'll be there for you When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you Like a billion years ago I'll be there for you Cause you're there for me too I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you Cause you're there for me too
