Otherside
Post Malone Lyrics

I been waiting wide awake for the waves to come and take
I have been anticipating an opportunity to bring me closer to you.

Take me right to you
I want to be in your presence immediately.

One hundred bottles of the good shit couldn't even bring you back
No amount of alcohol can help me forget you.

What am I to do?
I am lost and uncertain of how to proceed.

Feel like I'm circlin' a drain
I am in a downward spiral with no way out.

All I see is the remains of an ugly truth
I am faced with the harsh reality that we are over.

One hundred models I could follow
I have access to numerous attractive options but none can replace you.

All the way to hell and back but they can't replace you
Even if I tried to move on with someone else, it would not compare to having you.

Oh, oh, oh, ohh
Repeating indecisive sounds conveying the emotions of uncertainty and anxiety.

I was puttin' on for you like a jersey
I was representing you in everything I did.

What I didn't know then couldn't hurt me
I was not aware of the potential pain you could cause me.

Never thought you were gonna do me dirty
I did not expect you to betray me.

Left me in the cold but on the inside I was burning
You abandoned me emotionally, while it internally hurt me.

But that's just the way it goes
Unfortunately, this is how life works - things change and people move on.

Wish that I could have control
I desire to have power over my emotions and the situation at hand.

Everybody dies alone
Death is an individual experience, despite the connections one makes throughout life.

Say my prayers but I lost faith a long time ago
I still try to find solace in prayer, but I have no faith in it anymore.

Dream nightmares
My dreams haunt me and continue my agony.

I guess we're getting used to losing hope
I am becoming accustomed to life and love disappointing me.

I don't even wanna know why you don't answer
I do not want to face the reality that you have moved on and do not wish to speak to me.

When I call your name
I still reach out to you, hoping for a response.

Are you on the other side? Will you save us?
I wonder if you are in a better place and if you can help me find peace.

Or will you run away?
Or will you choose to ignore my calls for help and leave me to my own demise?

One hundred vials of denial I know they won't bring you back
I have tried to distract myself from the pain with various means, but they do not make me forget you.

You're my alibi and motive when I'm lying to myself of the ugly truth
You are what I use to convince myself that things are still the way they used to be, even though they are not.

We're no strangers to the flame
We have been in the heat of passion before and know the intensity of it.

We will never be the same
Our past experiences cannot be replicated, and we will never feel the same way about each other as we once did.

If we make it through (and we can make it through)
If we persevere through our pain, we will come out stronger in the end.

My back is up against the wall
I feel trapped and stuck in my situation.

But I used to feel invincible
I used to feel like nothing could stop me or bring me down.

Yeah it was us against the world
We once had a strong bond and felt like nothing could hurt us.

But somehow, someway, the tables turned
The dynamics of our relationship changed, and we found ourselves on opposite sides.

I remember back then
I reminisce about the good times we shared.

Played my cards right you were my best hand
I made sure to always treat you well, and you were my perfect match.

Still you keep me guessing
But now I am unsure of where we stand and where we are going.

Wonder will I ever get the message
I wonder if you will ever reach out to me or see how much I need you in my life.

Are you on the other side? Will you save us?
I still contemplate if you can help fix us and bring us back together.

Or will you run away?
Or if you will choose to leave me and never look back.
