By My Side

It's a battle, all my own
but steadfast right by my side,
best friend I've ever known,
you've always had my back,
lost my stability,
straight down bloodied up my face,
pick myself up again but wind up on two feet,
it's a battle,all my own,
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst
troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle,all my own,
what have I learned?

Best friend I've ever know,
the innocence as we've grown been beaten down before,
her good luck brings me in,
through good times and between the bad times made the difference,
I slept well constantly knowin' you'll never leave,
there was strangers in our midst but steadfast right by my side
had many enemies, you always had my back

(It's a battle, all my own),
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle, all my own,
what have I learned,
the stares,
the glares,
the battle and fights
This malice put upon,
you can't be all right
The trouble,
the will intent,
I'm sorry for you
Never yet again rearranging the truth

She holds my head up high
When I can't see,
fills my mind with thoughts
Good memories, she shuts me up when I'm
Screaming angry,
gives me guidance when
(I have no peace)
You stayed in my corner to fight,
stayed by my side,
I'm so tired,
stayed by my wrongs and by my rights

It's a battle,
all my own,
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle, all my own,
what have I learned?
