Story behind the song
As always, I was inspired by a real life story, where someone who is in a long-term relationship keeps getting disappointed in their expectations of love, affection and support.
Lyrics
Why can’t you be my supporter?
Why can’t you be my biggest fan?
Why is it so hard to say you love me?
When all I try to do is be a better man
Where do you go when I’m calling?
When I need you right here by my side
Is it so hard for you to be there?
Or is it that you haven’t even tried
Are you there at all?
And do you care at all?
They say it’s lonely at the top
But let me tell you
When you make that final drop
To the bottom of the pit
It is the loneliest place to be on your own
And all alone
CHORUS
Can you remember if I ever
Were not there when you’re in pain
Or did I ever leave you stranded in the cold?
And if I ever let you down
I think I paid the price by now
And will there ever be a time
When you will hold me
In your arms again
Just hold me
And be my lover
Are you there at all?
And do you care at all?
I don’t know where my life will lead me
Don’t know when my journey’s gonna end
Will you be there to walk beside me?
Or should I be looking for another friend?
Are you there at all?
And do you care at all?
Are you there at all?
And do you care?
Are you there?
