By Your Side

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cigarettes and time Ketamine and wine There's all these faceless opponents Who talk like they own us inside And you make it clear That the blackest of hearts don't fear And we never prayed So let me love you once more 'Fore you slip back down into the waves [Chorus] By your side Oh how I tried, and lied I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you [Verse 2] The criminal ain't the crime And this kind of love ain't divine And there's all these magical moments That sneak up and throw us aside But you left me here With the blackest of hearts so cavalier And we never prayed So let me love you once more 'Fore you slip back down into the way [Chorus] By your side Oh how I tried, lied I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you [Bridge] Matches and sugarcane I can't recognize what we became Who was I lying next to you When the gates open up below? [Chorus] By your side Oh how I tried, and lied I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you Givin' up on you Givin' up on you
