Side-by-Side Lyrics

We were living for choices, left only for us to decide

We learned trusting for each other, honesty to confide

Following only the right way, not trying to backslide

Living with the honesty, that others have soon lied

Truth only, humble in presence, no place for their pride

Huddled always hand in hand, the squall soon to subside

Fighting forward against the storm, standing side by side

Before there was us, I lived only amplified

All the details were wrong, everything I kept inside

Before there was us, just water falling tear eyed

My words were unclear, just foolish talking tongue tied

Looking for the right words, until the day you replied

Gone are the days, when in a lonely house I reside

Now all that's left is me, holding my arms open wide

When there was no one left, to be by my side

When there was no one left, for me to confide

When there was no one left, to be my new guide

When there was no one left, to walk in my stride

When we were living for daily, each morning to provide

When we were living for presence, with no place for pride

When we were living for choices, left only for us to decide

Only then, not now, it's no longer where I reside

Now I can see again, now I can look on clear eyed

Old days are gone away, no more living wild eyed

I no longer push harder, no more living self pride

Looking always around, not only the blind side

Need you with me always, not to be left cast aside

Sincerely needing only you, together love occupied

We were living for choices, left only for us to decide

We learned trusting for each other, honesty to confide

Following only the right way, not trying to backslide

Living with the honesty, that others have soon lied

Truth only, humble in presence, no place for their pride

Huddled always hand in hand, the squall soon to subside

Fighting forward against the storm, standing side by side
