I'll Be There For You
J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora

I guess this time you're really leaving
Martin watched as Ruthie walked past him, anger apparent in everything about her. She was over him… and that made him as sad as he could possibly be

I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide

He could feel the thoughts going through his mind, the thoughts of their past, before anyone had found out he had slept with Sandy. Before Aaron was born. It turned out the baby was actually Simon, not his.

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
"Martin, I found someone else, someone better. I moved on… it's time for you to. I've cried for long enough, I need to think of myself now." Ruthie had said to her when he told her everything. Including the fact that he was in love with her.

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

He wanted Ruthie to understand that what had happened between him and Sandy was a mistake, a huge mistake. He wished he could take it back. He had loved Ruthie all a long and he would do anything to have her back. He would seriously do anything.

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

Martin didn't understand what was wrong with him or Ruthie, all he knew was that he needed her to remember the past, the good times. He was sorry about what had happened. But now he had a future, maybe then everything would be okay. Forget what had happened, only remember the good things.

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

They had been through so much together and he wanted to be her only…

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

He would do anything to get her back, anything. He loved her that much. Why didn't she understand this. The rumors were that she didn't even like T-Bone so why didn't she dump the guy, a window of opportunity was right in front of her and she was turning it down.

And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

He'd missed so many things when they at first weren't talking after Aaron was born. He really wished he could go back


I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

Please Ruthie, I love you and I promise I'll always be there for you. Forgive me and give me another chance.
