By Your Side Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one knows how you feel
No one there you'd like to see
The day was dark and full of pain
You write "help" with your own blood
'Cause hope is all you've got
You open up your eyes
But nothing's changed


[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to cause you trouble
Don't want to stay too long
I just came here to say to you

[Chorus]
Turn around, I am here
If you want, it's me you'll see
Doesn't count, far or near
I can hold you when you reach for me


[Verse 2]
Your life is meaningless
Your diary full of trash
It's so hard to get along with empty hands
You're looking for the rainbow
But it died not long ago
It tried to shine just for you
Until the end
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to because you trouble
Don't want to stay too long
I just came here to say to you
I am by your side
Just for a little while

[Chorus]
Turn around, I am here
If you want, it's me you'll see
Doesn't count, far or near
I can hold you when you reach for me

[Bridge]
If the world makes you confused
And your senses you seem to lose
If the storm doesn't want to diffuse
And you just don't know what to do
Look around, I am here
Doesn't count, far or near

[Pre-Chorus]
I am by your side
Just for a little while

[Chorus]
Turn around
Turn around, I am here
Turn around
Doesn't count, far or near
Turn around
If you want, it's me you'll see
Turn around
I can hold you when you reach for me
Turn around, I am here
Doesn't count, far or near
[Outro]
I am by your side
Just for a little while
We'll make it if we try

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
