Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴It′s the late nights talking to me
When you probably wanted to go to bed
But you stayed up and talked to me instead
When I felt like I wasn't loved
Then you were there to comfort me
You gave me all that I need
Without you, I don′t think I'd be the same
You know my heart, you know my painYou take it away
Without you, I don't think I′d be the same
You know my flaws, you know my pain
You take it away
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being you
I felt so lost, I felt so low
You took me in when I had nowhere to go
Through my hardest days and my longest nights
You never left, you stuck by my side
Without you, I don′t think I'd be the same
You know my heart, you know my pain
You take it away
Without you, I don′t think I'd be the same
You know my flaws, you know my pain
You take it away
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being you
Thank you for being you
