I’M ON YOUR SIDE

I saw you in the womb 

I heard your first cry in the room 

I knew you wouldn’t understand 

I knew you’d turn your eyes away

Hush now, quiet down 

Don’t let yourself drown in this

Oh, oh… I’m on your side

I’m on your side

I saw you in your room

With a stomach full of pills 

You don’t remember anything 

How I sat beside you and sang

Hush now, quiet down 

Don’t let yourself drown and forget

Oh, oh… I’m on your side

Oh, oh… I’m on your side

And you don’t have hide

And you don’t have to lie

Ever since you were a child

You had so much light

You were eight and I was four

Something had to change

Someday you’ll come around

And lay it all down

I love you enough to tell you the truth

I love you enough to tell you the truth

You don’t have to change for me

But love will never leave you the same 

You don’t have to change for me

But love will never leave you the same

You don’t have to change for me

But love will never leave you the same
