By My Side
Leroy Sanchez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's crazy now but not when it all began
I found my way back but now I'm lost again
I put all my faith in love, but this is the end
It's like I'm breaking down, 'cause now I lost a friend

It all came back to me now that we're done
This will be the last time we're making love
When you close your eyes you'll be laying calm
In my arms

I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
And each moment I'm not with you slowly kills me
It's like homicide
But I love you (ooooh)
Only you (ooooh)

Won't be needing those pictures up on the wall
I won't be there but you'll still be in my heart
But I know I'll probably die without it beating
Knowing you're not mine might be the hardest part

It all came back to me now that we're done
This will be the last time we're making love
When you close your eyes you'll be laying calm
In my arms

I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
And each moment I'm not with you slowly kills me
It's like homicide
But I love you (ooooh)
Only you (ooooh)

They say that it gets better but who can guarantee it
What's the point of falling in love with something knowing that you're leaving

I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
And each moment I'm no longer with you kills me
It's like homicide
I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
And each moment I'm not with you slowly kills me
It's like homicide
But I love you (ooooh)
Only you (ooooh)
I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side
And each moment I'm not with you slowly kills me
It's like homicide
But I love you (ooooh)




Only you (ooooh)
I'm leaving tomorrow but at least I know you'll wake up by my side

Leroy hace años que veo tus vídeos y escucho tus covers y demás y parece un sueño que hayas conseguido por fin lo que te merecías.

Aún recuerdo verte en las noticias con lo de que el productor de Beyoncé se había fijado en ti y mírate ahora, cumpliendo tu sueño...

Es precioso que esto te esté pasando, pero lo mejor es que es después de años y años de esfuerzos y lucha.

Estoy muy orgulloso de que seas de este país y de que lleves tu talento a todas las partes del planeta.

Espero poder verte en los mejores escenarios regalándole al mundo tu maravillosa voz y tu música.

¡Viva Leroy!
