[Verse 1: Nick Ray]
You carried me when I was down
When no one else was to be found
You were always on my side
(Yeah)
It’s a shame we have to end like this
As we slip into the night again
I hope you know you’re on my mind
(Yeah)

[Chorus 1: Nick Ray]
And even though I walked away
You would stand by me
Yes, you would stand by me
(Yeah)
Yes, I’m sorry for the way
I have acted lately
Yes, I’m sorry
By the way
(By The way)

[Chorus 2: Nick Ray]
And even though I walked away
You would stand by me
Yes, you would stand by me
(Yeah)
Yes, I’m sorry for the way
I have acted lately
Yes, I’m sorry
By the way

[Verse 2: Nick Ray]
And I don’t know which way to go now from here
With all of these wasted years
(Yeah)
(By the way)

[Chorus 3: Nick Ray]
And even though I walked away
You would stand by me
Yes, you would stand by me
(Yeah)
Yes, I’m sorry for the way
I have acted lately
Yes, I’m sorry
By the way
