This song is about the man who loves when it is not. A man stands before the woman he has given his whole heart to and makes a vow that most people only whisper in their best moments but abandon in their worst: I will stay. Not because staying is painless. Not because the road is gentle. Not because he is strong enough to carry everything the world throws at them without bending. But because he has decided — quietly, firmly, with the kind of resolve that does not need an audience — that his love for her is not conditional on comfort. It is not a fair-weather vow. It is not a promise with an exit clause written in invisible ink. It is a promise kept when it hurts. Kept when it takes. Kept when the cost is more than he thought he could bear and he bears it anyway — because her heart is in his hands, held like a flame, and he would rather break than let the wind reach it. He will be tender as rain when she needs softness and fierce as a wall when she needs shelter. He will stand at her side when the skies begin to fall and hold her hands when they tremble and stay like a light when the night closes in. And he will do all of this not because it is easy, but precisely because it is not. Because love that costs nothing protects nothing. Love that sacrifices nothing shelters nothing. And the only vow worth making is the one that survives the very thing that should have destroyed it. This is a song for every man who has looked at the woman he loves and understood that the measure of his devotion is not what he promises in the light, but what he keeps in the dark — when it costs him everything, and he gives it anyway. When It Costs Me Everything [Verse 1] God knows my whole heart is yours Every corner, every scar Every beat it has left to give I put it in your hands And yours is safe with me Held like a flame I will never let the wind Reach what we made [Pre-Chorus] When the skies begin to fall I will stand at your side When the ground gives way beneath you I will be the line [Chorus] I will always be there for you I will always be there for you In the dark, in the blue I will always be there for you I will always be there for you I will always be there for you When it costs me everything I will always be there for you [Verse 2] Tender as rain on warm soil Fierce as a wall Between your heart and every storm I will take the blow In the ordinary hours In the impossible ones In the silence and the shaking I will not run [Pre-Chorus] When the night closes in I will stay like a light When your hands start trembling I will hold them tight [Chorus] I will always be there for you I will always be there for you In the dark, in the blue I will always be there for you I will always be there for you I will always be there for you When it costs me everything I will always be there for you [Bridge] Not a promise for the easy days Not a vow that bends and breaks I keep it when it hurts I keep it when it takes [Final Chorus] I will always be there for you I will always be there for you In the dark, in the blue I will always be there for you I will always be there for you I will always be there for you When it costs me everything I will always be there for you
