I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes They've seen things that you never quite say, but I hear Come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you And I'll stay there as long as you let me Because you matter to me Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody You matter to me I promise you do, you, you matter too I promise you do, you see? You matter to me It's addictive the minute you let yourself think The things that I say just might matter to someone All of this time I've been keeping my mind on the running away And for the first time I think I'd consider the stay Because you matter to me Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody You matter to me I promise you do, you, you matter too I promise you do, you see? You matter to me And you matter to me Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody You matter to me I promise you do, you (Out of hiding I'm right here beside you) You matter too (As long as you have me) I promise you do, you, you matter too (Out of hiding I'm right here beside you) I promise you do, you, you matter too (I do, I promise you do, you matter to me) I promise you do, you see You matter to me

I hate New York City All the lights are way too bright Million people on the street They're all living their own lives And I'm a stranger Just a face they'll never know Somebody unimportant People come and people go The world's so big, and I'm so small The ocean's deep as the sky is tall Sometimes, I feel like I'm nobody at all But you make me feel Like I'm someone, you do 'Cause I know I'm someone to you Make me feel Like I matter, you do 'Cause I know I matter to you I hate busy parties All the music's way too loud Feel like nobody can see me But you hold me in the crowd And for a moment I feel better being there Like I'm somebody important Just because I know you care The world's so big, and I'm so small The ocean's deep as the sky is tall Sometimes, I feel like I'm nobody at all But you make me feel Like I'm someone, you do 'Cause I know I'm someone to you Make me feel Like I matter, you do 'Cause I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you Make me feel Like I'm someone, you do 'Cause I know I'm someone to you Make me feel Like I matter, you do 'Cause I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you, ooh I know I matter to you

I've walked through hell, and I've battled the storms I know too well how, it feels when you fall I'm on this road, and I won't' lose my faith Pack it up, pack it up 'Cause I'm on my way For so long... I've been praying, for a brighter day I've been praying, trying to find my way 'Cause time moves on and seasons change Nothing ever stays the same Praying, I keep praying I keep praying I keep praying I've over due, just a little bit of luck I get the taste, but it's never enough I'm on this road And I won't lose my faith, Pack it up, pack it up 'Cause I'm on my way For so long... I've been praying for a brighter day I've been praying trying to find my way Time moves on and seasons change Nothing ever stays the same Praying, I keep praying On my own, I search high and low Till I find what I've been lloking for I'm in my deep end And I won't be beaten till I find what I've been praying for I've been praying, for a brighter day I've been praying, trying to find my way Time moves on and seasons change Nothing ever stays the same Praying, I keep praying
