By My Side Lyrics

It's a battle all my own
But steadfast right by my side
Best friend I've ever known
You've always had my backLost my stability
Straight down bloodied up my face
Pick myself up again
But wind up on two feetIt's a battle all my own
Machinery you can't control
Others complain about their worst
Troubles you wish were your ownAs the seasons roll on by
You realize you're getting older
It's a battle all my own
What have I learned?Best friend I've ever known
The innocence as we've grown
Been beaten down before
Her good luck brings me homeThrough good times and between
The bad times made the difference
I slept well constantly

Knowing you'll never leaveThere was strangers in our midst
But steadfast right by my side
Had many enemies
You always had my backIt's a battle all my own
Machinery you can't control
Others complain about their worst
Troubles you wish were your ownAs the seasons roll on by
You realize you're getting older
It's a battle all my own
What have I learned?The stares, the glares
The battle and fights
This malice put upon you
Can't be all rightThe trouble, the ill intent
I'm sorry for you
Never yet again
Rearranging the truthShe holds my head up high
When I can't see
She fills my mind with thoughts
Good memoriesShe shuts me up
When I'm screaming angry
She gives me guidance
When I have no peaceYou stayed in my corner to fight
Stayed by my side, I'm so tired
Stayed by my wrongs
And by my rightsIt's a battle all my own
Machinery you can't control
Others complain about their worst
Troubles you wish were your ownAs the seasons roll on by
You realize you're getting older
It's a battle all my own
What have I learned?
