[Intro]

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

And I’m never meant to be found

[Verse 1]

I know my trouble’s with me

I’m looking down at my hands as they started writing different

I keep my distance and back to the wall but see it clearly

My feet ain’t touching the floor and my shadow started twisting

I take a second then run for the door

Keeping you there in my head

All of the sudden it’s me and the road

I couldn’t see you again

[Chorus]

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

And I’m never meant to be found

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

And I’m never meant to be found

[Verse 2]

I know my troubles got me

And man I can’t see a thing for the life it’s taking from me

I keep my hands to my chest and beg if I could be dipping only then to see my reflection in the hole I was digging

My walkman skips to the sound of your voice that’s telling me

Grabbing my hand as I hear the lighting ahead of me

I stood in front of myself and my vision started clearing only then to see my reflection was the voice I was hearing

[Pre-Chorus]

(Stand by my side)

Am I never meant to be found

If you stand by my side

Then I’m never meant to be found

[Chorus]

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

And I’m never meant to be found

Stand by my side

When you know that I’m not around

Suddenly I can’t see your house

And I’m never meant to be found

[Post-Chorus]

I take a second then run for the door

Keeping you there in my head

All of a sudden it’s me in the road

I couldn’t see you again

I take a second then run for the door

Keeping you there in my head

All of the sudden it’s me and the road

I couldn’t see you again

[Outro]

After the night that you told me to quit

Smoking when I should stay focused and well

And I tried if I gave damn if I lived

I know now that there's more to me than I felt

And out to my friends that would never be real

You all wonder why we never link anymore

And how could I stay when you do that to him?

Cold as you lay next to me on your phone
