By Your Side

I wasn't myself for so many years it seemed
Cold and confused my mind lost in the shadows
When i awoke i could see so much clearer
Held high it seems i won't be there to hear her

And i won't be by your side
No way of knowing
And i won't be by your side
Well i'll take my chances

In this place i was left for dead
Held down and mocked by all eyes watching
Now free well i'll be standing much taller
What won't kill me makes me stronger

And i won't be by your side
No way of knowing
And i won't be your side
Well i'll take my chances
And i won't be by your side
I'm free from you chains
And i won't be by your side
There's no time to cry
