"My Side" lyrics
Coughlin & Jason Lancaster Lyrics
You walked in the bedroom, our clothes disappeared
We started out backwards, the climax premiered
And casual contact with more frequency
When this comes to a head, which of us will concede?
It's the way that you act, you're not matching your words
Or revving your car over lines that got blurred
You drained your eyes, kissed me, then walked away
Only hurt 'cause the nail wasn't yours, now I'll say
And all those nights you said I lied
That's furthest from the truth
My heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
I tried to replace you, but it's not the same
They don't tilt their head when they say my name
You made me better, then left me behind
Now I trace their shadows like I traced your lines
I kept every moment like a photograph worn
And I lived in the moments with my eyes on the floor
I talk to the night like it's got your face
And chase every stranger to take your place
And all those nights you said I lied
Well, that's furthest from the truth
And my heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
Just saw you smiling in someone's light
And it hit me that it just feels right
You found what you were searching for
And I don't need to ask for more
I'm glad you're where you need to be
Even if it's not with me
But you drove the knife in so hard
Without realizing you're
But I wore my heart on my sleeve
So it was the perfect fit
I swear that I'll love you forever and then
Knowing you're saying his name
And all those nights you said I lied
That's furthest from the truth
My heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
'Cause I'm just a writer
I ain't got nothing on you
'Cause you got yourself a fighter
And a sky full of diamonds too
We started out backwards, the climax premiered
And casual contact with more frequency
When this comes to a head, which of us will concede?
It's the way that you act, you're not matching your words
Or revving your car over lines that got blurred
You drained your eyes, kissed me, then walked away
Only hurt 'cause the nail wasn't yours, now I'll say
And all those nights you said I lied
That's furthest from the truth
My heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
I tried to replace you, but it's not the same
They don't tilt their head when they say my name
You made me better, then left me behind
Now I trace their shadows like I traced your lines
I kept every moment like a photograph worn
And I lived in the moments with my eyes on the floor
I talk to the night like it's got your face
And chase every stranger to take your place
And all those nights you said I lied
Well, that's furthest from the truth
And my heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
Just saw you smiling in someone's light
And it hit me that it just feels right
You found what you were searching for
And I don't need to ask for more
I'm glad you're where you need to be
Even if it's not with me
But you drove the knife in so hard
Without realizing you're
But I wore my heart on my sleeve
So it was the perfect fit
I swear that I'll love you forever and then
Knowing you're saying his name
And all those nights you said I lied
That's furthest from the truth
My heart died, my stupid pride
My shield from the abuse
There's always two sides and darling, this is mine
Sorry it took so long, but you shouldn't mind
'Cause I'm just a writer
I ain't got nothing on you
'Cause you got yourself a fighter
And a sky full of diamonds too
