Never Gonna Leave Your Side
Daniel Bedingfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like a song without the word
A man without a soul
A bird without its wings
A heart without a home
I feel like a knight without a sword
The sky without the sun
'Cause you are the one
I feel like a ship beneath the waves
A child who's lost its way
A door without a key
A face without a name
I feel like a breath without the air
And everyday the same
Since you've gone away
I've gotta have a reason to wake up in the mornin'
You use to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that can describe how I miss you
An I miss you everyday
Yeah
An I'm never gonna leave your side
An I'm never gonna leave your side
I've been, still holding on girl
I won't let you go
'Cause when I'm lyin' in your arms, I know I'm home
They tell me that a man can lose his mind
Living in the pain
The calling times gone by
The crying in the rain
You know I've wasted half the time
An I'm on my knees again
Till you come to me
Yeah
I've gotta have a reason to wake up in the mornin'
You use to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that can describe how I miss you
An I miss you everyday
Yeah
An I'm never gonna leave your side
An I'm never gonna leave your side
I've been, still holding on girl
I won't let you go
I lay my head against your heart, I know I'm home
I know I'm home
I know I'm home
An I'm never gonna leave your side
An I'm never gonna leave your side
I've been, still holding on girl




I won't let you go
'Cause when I'm lyin' in your arms, I know I'm home
