When the night gets just a bit too dark

And I pour out my bleeding heart

You're there

I say thank you far too rarely

And even when I don't say it

You're there

When you move a mountain with me

Put your shoulder to it

I know again

I'm not alone

Because of you, because of you

Bad days don't last as long

I'm just that little bit less scared

I can hide from the cold

Because of you, because of you

I know it'll pass someday

'Cause you show me hope exists

And that's only thanks to you

That's only thanks to you

When I don't lose my laughter anymore

And the light inside me goes out

You're there

You hold me tight

I feel your strength

When I don't know what's waiting for me

You're there

When you move a mountain with me

Put your shoulder to it

I know again

I'm not alone

Because of you

Bad days don't last as long

I'm just that little bit less scared

I can hide from the cold

Because of you, because of you

I know it'll pass someday

'Cause you show me hope exists

And that's only thanks to you

You caught me and you let me be who I am

Even when I know my deepest valleys

And I entrust my silent tears

To you, because of you

Bad days don't last as long

I'm just that little bit less scared

I can hide from the cold

Because of you, because of you

I know it'll pass someday

'Cause you show me hope exists

And that's only thanks to you

That's only thanks to you

SONG MEANING

Sam Bettens teams up with fellow Belgian voices Paul Michiels and Niels Destadsbader to deliver a soaring thank-you note to that one special person who shows up when the world turns cold. The lyrics paint midnight-blue moments—bleeding hearts, silent tears, and lights that go out—yet every image of darkness is immediately answered by the comforting refrain “Dan ben je daar” (“Then you are there”). With every chorus, the trio reminds us that true companionship can shorten bad days, melt fear, and teach us to believe in hope again.

At its core, “Door Jou” (“Because of You”) is a celebration of unconditional support. Whether you picture a best friend, a partner, or a caring family member, the song invites you to feel the weight lift as someone puts their shoulder to your mountain and says, “You are not alone.” It is a powerful anthem for gratitude, resilience, and the quiet strength we borrow from those we love.
