By My Side

Lyrics

[Chorus] Are you really by my side? Or an option you resort to to pass time? I can't replace your loneliness, the phony shit won't work Thinking reaching out to me to avoid addressing what hurts And I'm only making it worse 'Cause you don't need me in your life Can't comprehend the shit I sacrificed What I did to make it right And I had to pay the price, right And you don't need me by your side [Verse] Nah, less effort with more production I'm done trying, especially if it's for nothing There's no fronting, forget the script you try to follow Another late text won't change the outcome of tomorrow Another back and fourth debate and reaching for the bottle Or useless confrontation screaming everything is [?] This shit ain't meant for me but I opened you up Feelings I should've kept shut Guess I expected too much, maybe suggested too much Or too little depending on who you talk to Looking for houses, even conducted a few walk throughs Plotting the course of a future on feelings not true Just another tribute to obstacles that we fought through Tried and couldn't succeed Fell short trying to supply what you need Don't have to ask how it fell apart when you lost what you see No more gestures to misinterpret 'cause there's nothing to read You wanted distance to breathe? No, I need distance to be You're only seeking attention and it's not coming from me I got no energy left, plus this ain't really regret Just a distraction that will amuse you til it's onto the next So move onto the next Your friends always knew better than me Couldn't think for yourself, took their advice and tell it to me, spell it for me I got [?] too Won't revisit the same mistakes 'cause you need something to do We're good [Chorus] Are you really by my side? Or an option you resort to to pass time? I can't replace your loneliness, the phony shit won't work Thinking reaching out to me to avoid addressing what hurts And I'm only making it worse 'Cause you don't need me in your life Can't comprehend the shit I sacrificed What I did to make it right And I had to pay the price, right And you don't need me by your side
