John Newman — Stand By Me

[Verse 1] You seen every scar I don't show my skin And you taste every word that hasn't passed my lips You know my every smile and what they all mean Happy, sad and broken no in between [Pre-Chorus] I know you've seen all my imperfections You've seen all my rough You've seen that I ain't that perfect Still you give me love [Chorus] You stand by me Through the longest nights You stand by me Through the hardest times You stand by me I know at times I get too much You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm But you stand by me, hey [Verse 2] You seen me dance on my two left feet But you're not ashamed to dance with me, hmm-hmm When you make me lose my breath, you're the air that I need You stand by me [Chorus] You stand by me Through the longest nights You stand by me Through the hardest times You stand by me I know at times I get too much You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm But you stand by me, hey [Pre-Chorus] I know you've seen all my imperfections You've seen all my rough You've seen that I ain't that perfect But still you give me love [Chorus] You stand by me (By me) Through the longest nights You stand by me Through the hardest times You stand by me I know at times I get too much You must feel like giving up, hmm-hmm But you stand by me
