By My Side

I? ve been down before
So I chose to drink it away
Used to wake up pour it down
Hurt the ones I love everyday

Today? s a new day, a fresh start for me
Now look through sober eyes
At the life I? ve made
Love almost threw away

Not gonna lose this time
Gotta think straight
Fight for what? s mine
Too many times I? ve chosen the wrong path

Stumbled my life through
Over and over again
I? ve seen the look of pain on your face
I hope it never comes back

Found love in my best friend
You stood by through it all
Until the end a true friend
Always by my side

By my side, by my side
By my side

Been down before
Over and over again
Stumbled my life through
I? m stronger now that I have you
