By My Side lyrics

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

Cuz love, you can't replace it

Who am I to keep you by my side?

Nothing seems as far away

As the heartbeat next to mine

But nothing feels so far away

No, I'm not complaining

Cuz I've got my ways

It's my heart, my beliefs

I've counted the days

Since I felt that release

Then I lost your gaze

In the cold of an autumn breeze

What can I say?

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

Cuz no love needs to be staying

In my arms for all my life

Find a better place

Find a heart you'll feel alive with

Cuz love, you can't replace it

So who am I to keep you by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

Carefully, without a trace

My emotions take a dive

Like everything is out of place

I'll get the green or on the chase

Then take a drink and realize

I've been here before

So I've got my ways

Got the cards up my sleeve

I put out the blaze

Swept the ash underneath

If we're out of phase

You can go if it's what you need

What can I say?

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

Cuz no love needs to be staying

In my arms for all my life

Find a better place

Find a heart you'll feel alive with

Cuz love, you can't replace it

So who am I to keep you by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh

No tears I cry will make you stay

I'll dance alone, in smoke or rain

Completely and serenely satisfied

I find

Cuz the mist meets my fingertips

Embracing me with a smile

Reminding me if I'm all alone

It's only for a while

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

Cuz no love needs to be staying

In my arms for all my life

Find a better place

Find a heart you'll feel alive with

Cuz love, you can't replace it

So who am I to keep you by my side

If you're gonna leave upon the day

Least I have you for the night

Cuz no love needs to be staying

In my arms for all my life

Find a better place

Find a heart you'll feel alive with

Cuz love, you can't replace it

So who am I to keep you by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side

(Ooh...) By my side
