By Your Side

 

I will be by your side, at the time when you need it

You won’t have to be there, all alone, feeling scared

I will be by your side, at the time when you need it

When you see life’s not fair, you will see that I care.

​

You’re there by yourself, she sees you are worried

Trapping you in, it all starts again

You feel your heart pounding something like thunder

She knows how to get right under your skin

 

I’m really not strong, I’m not a great talker

I don’t want to argue, I don’t want to fight

But I know what’s fair, and I know what’s cruel

So at least I can stand on the side of who’s right

 

I could talk about things that don’t even make sense

I might look kind of awkward, I might seem like a fool

Ignore what is happening and just change the subject

I’d rather be helpful than try to be cool
