By My Side

I've been down before - so i chose to drink it away used to wake up and pour it down - hurt the ones i love - everyday today's a new day - a fresh start for me - now i look through sober eyes at the life i've made - love almost threw away not gonna lose this time - gotta think straight fight for whats mine - too many times - i've chosen the wrong path stumbled my life through - over and over again i've seen the look of pain - on your face i hope it never comes back - found love - in my best friend you stood by through it all - until the end a true friend always by my side - by my side - by my side - been down before over and over again - stumbled my life through i'm stronger now that i have you
