by your side
Ruthcrest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me broken
You were drifting away
You left unspoken thinking it was all okay
We've been running in circles
Repeating our same mistakes
Left out in the cold I'm freezing
With nothing left to say
Were getting older and this desperation is killing you inside
(Inside)
Were getting older and you left me high and dry but that's alright
Just remember who was by your side
(Byy your side)

Who would've known that things would turn out this way
I never realized that all this time you were afraid to say
On how you felt inside
The pressure was on the rise
I stayed up late last night
Reminiscing on how we changed our lives

Were getting older and this desperation is killing you inside
(Inside)
Were getting older and you left me high and dry but that's alright
Rust remember who was by your side
(By your side)

I said that i would
Never let this go
I'm wrecked and abandoned
Now I'm far away from home
I'm still standing while you drifted away
Now don't you worry the choice was yours to make

Were getting older and this desperation is killing you inside
(Inside)
Were getting older and you left me high and dry but that's alright




Just remember who was by your side
(By your side)
