By Your Side

I wasn't myself for so many years it seemed

Cold and confused my mind lost in the shadows

When I awoke I could see so much clearer

Held high it seems I won't be there to hear her

And I won't be by your side

No way of knowing

And I won't be by your side

Well I'll take my chances

In this place I was left for dead

Held down and mocked by all eyes watching

Now free well I'll be standing much taller

What won't kill me makes me stronger

And I won't be by your side

No way of knowing

And I won't be your side

Well I'll take my chances

And I won't be by your side

I'm free from you chains

And I won't be by your side

There's no time to cry
