By Your Side Lyrics

[Verse]
See myself in a screen
Wasting days, counting weeks
Getting more familiar with how you speak
While you’re away from me

[Chorus 1]
But I don’t want to say goodbye
Because it’s safer when I’m by your side
It's safer when I'm by your side

[Post-Chorus 1]
I want to
Be near you
Like I’m meant to
I'm meant to

[Chorus 2]
But hey, I think it’s gonna be alright
When we’re sleeping and I’m by your side
I wanna learn to fly, but it’s safer when I stay inside
It's safer when I stay inside


[Post-Chorus 2]
I want you
But the monster
Won’t let me
Escape here

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 [?]
