[Intro]
I-I-I-I’ve been keepin’ to myself and stayin’ out the way
I’ve been always on my lonely ’cause I can’t change
I-I’ve been seein’ how they talkin’ and I’m outraged
I-I’ve been takin’ care …
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Then you go and take another, [?]
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Never saying what you want, now you’re saying i’m rude
Whatchu …
[Verse 1]
All roses, that you gave me when fought but babe you’re poison
Sorry if I speak my thoughts, I’m just fed up
Why you not?
I don’t know why I do this
Like …
[Intro]
(Ay, Benji, you know this one bangs, innit)
You’ll be playin’ “Red Light, Green Light”
Player 156, you have been eliminated (Yo)
(Yo, MacMac, relax)
Yo, yo
[Chorus]
(It was us that did it, it was …
[Verse 1]
I know we were broken by the words we never spoke until tonight
All the little things that we ignored and now we drag into the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Holdin’ back the river
Holdin’ …
The hurt in your eyes will never disguise
The spark that lived there before1
And I know that you’re so much more
Than you’re showin’2
The clouds in your hair will bring you to tears
But I will catch every drop3
Even if it don’t ever stop4
‘Cause you’re worth it, you’re worth it5
When you fight for every breath
And the waves are overhead
Let me lay your mind to rest6
I will stand by you7
When all of your dreams are shattered
And your world is left in tatters8
When you’re lost we’re lost together9
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you
If black is your brightest colour10
If hurt is your only lover11
When you fight, we fight together12
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you
I will stand by you [3x]
The war in your head will shoot you down dead
So don’t even try to win13
Is it worth it all in the end?
I don’t think so14
Try to embrace the lines on your face
The story of who you are
‘Cause I love what I’ve read so far
I mean it, I mean it15
When you fight for every breath
And the waves are overhead
Let me lay your mind to rest
I will stand by you
When all of your dreams are shattered
And your world is left in tatters
When you’re lost we’re lost together
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you
If black is your brightest colour
If hurt is your only lover
When you fight, we fight together
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you
I will stand by you [3x]
When you fight for every breath
And the waves are overhead
Let me lay your mind to rest
I will stand by you
When all of your dreams are shattered (yeah)
And your world is left in tatters
When you’re lost we’re lost together
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you (I will stand by you)
If black is your brightest colour
If hurt is your only lover (only lover)
When you fight, we fight together
I’ll stand by, I will stand by you (I will stand by you)
I will stand by you [7x]16

My interpretation of this song is that a close friend or loved one of the artist is going through a hard time. This friend could be going through an illness (probably depression), a recent loss of a loved one, or just having a difficult time in life. The artist is saying that she will be there for them no matter what. That no matter how dark or difficult life gets, she will stand by them.
I think this song is very meaningful and inspirational. One of my friends sent this to me when I was having a hard time I’m life. I listened to this song everyday and it lifted me up, it let me know that I have people that love and care about me. That they will be there for me no matter what. They will stand by me.
