Lift Me Up Lyrics

When I'm down on my luck
and I'm searching for my soul
When I'm feeling too much
and I start to lose control
When I'm down so low
that even enemies don't wanna know
You still care for me, say a prayer for me
and I know I like you hanging around
'Cause you life me up when I'm upside down
Ooh, you are my favorite sound

Chorus:
'Cause you're always down for lifting me up
Like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me
when I'm feeling down
Lift me up, like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me,
I don't wanna let you go

When I'm lost along the way
and I can't face another day
If I stumble on the road and if i can't carry the load
If I lose my faith and kindness and generosity
Would you hold my hand?
Say you understand, my babe.
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Ooh you are my favorite sound

CHORUS

It's been a long hard road
And it's only just begun, my friend
and this I know, you help me carry the load
'Cause you're always down for

CHORUS

Well you're always around..
you're my favorite sound..

You still care for me, say a prayer for me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Amazing song. It makes me think about my friends and everything that we shared. Very positive song. Though it is cover, it is much more better, than Darren Hayes's version, IMHO. Great voices, BsB show true emotions, true feelings. Both, Nick and AJ have geat vocals. Also, chorus is incredible. Very beautiful. Lyrics are fantastic, unforgettable. Every line is in harmony with whole meaning of the song. One of my favorite songs. Awesome one.

One of my favorite BSB songs! I just heard this for the first time recently, and I basically fell in love with it first listen! I've been listening to it a lot recently. Very uplifting! Plus, it was written by the incredible Darren Hayes!
