Wayside Lyrics

I know that you gave life to me

That doesn't mean you get away so easily

Oh, can't you see

That shelter's not enough for me

You either work and play your life away

Or you can't handle the pressure you're expected to pay

Either way, I'm left by the wayside

You're oblivious to my state of mind

You barely remember my favorite times

It's apparent you just don't know

They were with you!

Have you ever felt what it's like left by the wayside

Removed from all you know and not asked back

I'll admit my behavior has not been great

Just a worthless attempt to relate

I'm not asking for more of your hollow love

I just want some time from you and your worn out life

'Stead your asking for, even more from me

'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency

It hurts when you hear of the fear to get near

From those you don't expect to protect their own neck

When they don't even know your life

They don't even know my strife

I guess that you don't wanna deal with my drama

So you break your promise cause me more trauma

You think I'm just a bad kid

But I'm just another kid

When you finally accept me in

But you change my name to something mundane

And I want your acceptance so I play your game

Now I'm not shrouded in poverty

I live in your world of sympathy

But the perfect life of those all around

Doesn't make it any better when you're thrown to the ground

From those you expect to fight your fight

Instead they only fight you

I promise that that fear is worse than your fear

Of accepting me in because of my sin

Which of your idols are you selectin

Which of your possessions are you protectin

So if you're the one that gave life to me

Times up! Step up! Responsibility!

Or if you're the one that visits the wayside

Don't leave me there, come hang by my side

Ooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me by the wayside

Nooooo, oooh, oooh, oooh

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me

Ooooh, aaaa, aaaa, oooh

Ooooh, oooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me by the wayside

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me

Aaaah, aa, aa, aa, aa, aa, oooh, oh, oh

Oooh, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, aaah, aaah

I'm not asking for more of your hollow love

I just want some time from you and your worn out life

'Stead your asking for, even more from me

'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency

I'm not asking for more of your hollow love

I just want some time from you and your worn out life

'Stead your asking for, even more from me

'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency

Ooooh, oooh

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me by the wayside

Ooooh, oooh

Don't leave me by the wayside, no

Don't leave me

Ya ever felt what it's like left by the wayside?
