You wake up and you try to breathe
You ask yourself, "What's wrong with me?"
You're broken like you've never been
You try to try, but lose again

I know you got doubts
And you see no way out

But I promise you this
When it's dark as it's ever been
And you feel like you're at your end
I will be there through thick and thin, oh
When you feel like you just can't win
And the shadows are creeping in
I will be there through thick and thin

Oh, lean on me, lean on me, lean on me, I'm down
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me here now
I can be your light when your light goes out
Oh, lean on me, lean on me, lean on me, I'm down
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me here now
I can be your light when your light goes dim, oh

You're just too tired, you can't pretend
Feel like a stranger in your skin
And I can see it in your stare
I wish you knew how much I cared

I know you got doubts
And you see no way out

But I promise you this
When it's dark as it's ever been
And you feel like you're at your end
I will be there through thick and thin, oh
When you feel like you just can't win
And the shadows are creeping in
I will be there through thick and thin

Oh, lean on me, lean on me, lean on me, I'm down
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me here now
I can be your light when your light goes out
Oh, lean on me, lean on me, lean on me, I'm down
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me here now
I can be your light when your light goes dim, oh
