Discover the story of the song > Here By Me – 3 Doors Down

These lyrics are about a person who feels lost and incomplete without their romantic partner. They admit that they made mistakes and were blind to some things, but their partner always understood them. They need their partner by their side to feel whole and to find their way in life. They are willing to let everything else in their world crumble as long as they have their partner with them. They express that time feels like it stands still when their partner is not around, and they apologize for not always finding the right words to say. Ultimately, they believe that as long as they have their partner by their side, everything else doesn't matter.
