	Story Behind the Song "There For You" is one of our more serious songs, and definitely one of our heaviest. It's about the pain of growing up in a loveless home full of anger and neglect. Though I grew up in a very loving household with strong family values, seeing what someone I knew was going through made me feel that sort of void one feels when the ones they love neglect them. I wanted the lyrics to be strong and meaningful, so that's what I aimed for when writing them. "There For You" did not take too long to complete. I began writing on June 3, 2000, and finished June 7th, just a few days later. When writing a song, I almost always work on the lyrics according to the order they appear in the song--like verse 1, verse 2, chorus, verse 3, etc. But this time, I had the chorus written before I even had any of the verses down. As long as you have the tune down and know what you want to say during a certain part, I guess it doesn't matter what order you write a song in... as long as it all comes together in the end. Lyrics Hardened hearts Slabs of stone Cracked and cold How could love never fill this Never fill this home Don't hold it inside Tell yourself your fine It's okay to cry And all I want is to be there for you Deliver you from all you've been through Change your darkness to a starlit night Dry your tears I'll always be by your side Wounded hearts Hope crumbled You walk this world alone A stranger revealed in the person Your whole life you'd known You feel angry Empty and grief Turn, and you'll see me Cuz all I want is to be there for you Deliver you from all you've been through Drown your sorrows, and rescue your life Heal your tears Forever stand by your side
