Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been on my own, on my own adventure
Split my heart in half, think that shit gave me a splinter
Don't wanna give you any publicity or attention
Don't know how to love anybody, don't know the feeling
Know I fucked up rather be right by your side
Hiding all my feelings let it out I always cry
Can't make a decision, I can't even decide
Might go up to heaven ill see you on the other side
By your side
By your side
By your side
By your side
Girl I see you running from your problems
Don't know how to solve them
We both need a break from this I'm sorry I'm not
By your side
By your side
And now I hate me cause I can't be what you need anymore
I wanna be there but we know its not the same as before
You know I love you but it hurts too much to always be at odds
And to sit and remember
All along I was tryna figure out what I did wrong
But it's getting to me now and I'm exhausted
I don't wanna call you back for a while tonight
When I'm by your side we don't see each other
Just a faded light and the space where another
Girl would lie on one side of your bed with a face like mine
I'm afraid that she's dead let her rest
Don't got another outlet
To express how I'm feeling
I don’t know who real or fake
Cant distinguish them, not revealing
Gotta stop, gotta change, gotta get off my ass
Need to get you out my head, I need to forget about the pass
I’ve just come to the conclusion that nothing is meant to last
Time is starting to drift away from me, just look at the hourglass
Hard to let go, it’s so hard to forget
Remember the words, the last thing that you said
Said it was you and not me, I’m mislead
Sitting alone, sitting here with regret
Hit my phone but I don’t even wanna talk
Gotta run away know that I’m not gonna walk
I don’t got no time to waste just look up at the clock
I am at a loss of words, you put me in some shock
My feelings hurt, what the fuck did you gain
Know that I’m broken, I will not be the same
Imma make sure you remember my name
Thought we could be something, that shits a shame
By your side
By your side
By your side
By your side
Girl I see you running from your problems
Don't know how to solve them
We both need a break from this I'm sorry I'm not




By your side
