Man on the Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll slide into my minds tricks again.
I can't hide or decide whether you're giving in.
Do you take pride in all the times missed?
When i'm left to cry, am I the man on the side?
Don't think I've changed?
Am I putting to much pressure on us to make it?
Right, here I'll wait, but don't make me break.
Down, I don't need the space.
Don't make me fall down when i'm needing.
'Cause you and I were right,
It was you and I for life.
Don't let me down, slow down.
Please, don't throw us away,
There's love here, slow down.
I don't want this, i just want you to call.
Tired of waking up drowning in this...
Memory of love... Love!
Don't think I've changed?
Am I putting to much pressure on us to make it?
Right, here I'll wait, but don't make me break.
Down, I don't need the space.
Don't make me fall down when i'm needing.
Cause you and I were right,
It was you and I for life.
Don't let me down.
Slow down. x3
Can't you see you've shut me down?
Down, I don't need the space.
Don't make me fall down when i'm needing.
Down, I don't need the space.
Don't make me fall down when I'm needing.
'Cause you and I were right,
It was you and I for life.
Please, don't make me fall down.
