By My 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.
When you feel like you've fallen out of use,
Come by my side,
The starved pain, my girl, you have induced,
Come dine by my side,
Everything she said to me was true,
So now I know why,
You look blue, it's eating through you,
So come by my side,
Don't want to fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you,
I'll dig down and I'll search for a heart of gold,
In your diamond mind,
Don't you know, my girl, I'd farm the world,
To come dine by your side,
Everything you say to me gets through,
So now I know why I'm not through with life,
Because of you,
So come by my side,
Don't want to fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you,
Girl you know that I still need you,
Pick it up and we'll find a way,
Don't you know that I still need you,
Look it up and we'll find a way,
Da da da da,
Da da da dam,
Da da da da,
Da da da da,
Da da da da,
Da da da da,
Da da da da,
Don't wanna fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you,
Don't wanna fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you.
