By Your Side Lyrics

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 by your side
Well I'll take my chances

And I won't be by your side
I'm free from your chains
And I won't be by your side
There's no time to cry
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

And I won't be by your side
I'm free from your chains
And I won't be by your side
There's no time to cry
