Side of Me Lyrics

Seasons changed, and I was plotting my escape

I packed my bags for what I thought would be a warm embrace

Freedom was an addiction, I was itching for a taste

But when the fall settled in I had a fall from grace

Stuck in the illusion that I know what is best for me

When in conclusion I was looking for an excuse to leave

Inside of my confusion, couldn't rest until I breathed

So my final solution was run away to find my peace

But running away just made me think of everything I had

A state away before I realized what I did was rash

To be back in the camry parked in that lake grass

I had connections, though I convinced myself that I was cast

I would play the victim when I knew the actual truth

No one reached out to me so then I had to assume

No one cares about me, that I've got no room

It takes two, the issue was me, it was never you

Send hell and it's hounds and I promise that I won't die

Push me off of level ground and I'm gon' fly

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, you'll never get the best of me

Send hell or high waters and I promise that I won't drown

Not a man in this world that'll hold me down

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, who's sitting right here on the side of me

Seems I'm the fool, fallen for my fickle folly

I knew the rule but I still slipped and stepped upon it

I was making my bed, time I started sleeping on it

Never realized all the lies, til I started being honest

There I was wavering inside my wicked ways

I never found my peace so I started counting days

And crippled myself in health until my debt was paid

But I'll do what it takes to show myself that I am saved

Breaking down bullets barrel inside my bedroom

All my actions in words started to spell doom

As I was steadily shaken I felt the air move

That's when I realized exactly who was there too

I'm never alone, even in my darkest hours

When I'm battling my demons, there's a higher power

When I fail a hundred, or even a thousand times

I know the one that died and lived is always on my side

Send hell and it's hounds and I promise that I won't die

Push me off of level ground and I'm gon' fly

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, you'll never get the best of me

Send hell or high waters and I promise that I won't drown

Not a man in this world that'll hold me down

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, who's sitting right here on the side of me

I-39 if I cry will I stay alive

Will I get to see the light that I always seek to find

Will I be forbidden when it reaches my time

Is the destination the casket next to the brimfire

I-39 when I die, will it still apply

Will I get the peace of mind that I always seek to find

Will I be forgiven when it reaches my time

Is the destination the heavens next to the sunshine

Send hell and it's hounds and I promise that I won't die

Push me off of level ground and I'm gon' fly

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, you'll never get the best of me

Send hell or high waters and I promise that I won't drown

Not a man in this world that'll hold me down

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, who's sitting right here on the side of me

Send hell and it's hounds and I promise that I won't die

Push me off of level ground and I'm gon' fly

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, you'll never get the best of me

Send hell or high waters and I promise that I won't drown

Not a man in this world that'll hold me down

Show me just how cruel the world can be

And you gon' see, who's sitting right here on the side of me
