"Lying By My Side" lyrics
I'll rebuilt what he had broken, replaced what he had stolen
The nightmare was over, a Dub V Princess was awoken
You stopped messing with the junk, told me I saved your life
How much you really love me and you want to be my wife
I was skeptical at first. So many women done blew it
Till I see an infinity tattoo with my name right through it
I told you that I loved you. I raised your self-esteem.
Made your dreams reality. I kept you safe and clean.
The queen protects the king. Gave you my heart, paid you to sing.
You showed me no affection. Yet you talk about a ring.
You raised better than that. Cowards handle things the weak way
In a bar drunk like you're single on the weekday
Something I won't forget. A lifelong scar.
You were my shoulder at my Pap's grave. You was at the bar.
Drugs, booze, clubs. Happy, go. Lucky wasted. Frolic
How you bring it to my door, knowing I'm an alcoholic
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
Looking in your eyes there ain't no love just confliction
Like staring in the mirror when I was active in addiction
You can't talk about your feelings. Your heart is frozen over.
And when it finally melts, you'll see reality is colder
I promised to always love you, never let you hit the ground
Now you're too busy to talk or even come around
When you lost it all, who was standing by your side
Now every time we talk you're making sure that we collide
I ain't bring you back to life just to watch you kill yourself
All the people in your life do you even care about their health
I need to be a father but as my name gets hotter
Yeah, the money goes up but my relationships are slaughtered
Total self destruction. Running a gauntlet with your choices
Affecting everyone and you'll be haunted by these voices
The woman I met's a worthless wreck isn't really worth the Percocet
If that's a deal, cut the check. I got a daughter, show respect.
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
The nightmare was over, a Dub V Princess was awoken
You stopped messing with the junk, told me I saved your life
How much you really love me and you want to be my wife
I was skeptical at first. So many women done blew it
Till I see an infinity tattoo with my name right through it
I told you that I loved you. I raised your self-esteem.
Made your dreams reality. I kept you safe and clean.
The queen protects the king. Gave you my heart, paid you to sing.
You showed me no affection. Yet you talk about a ring.
You raised better than that. Cowards handle things the weak way
In a bar drunk like you're single on the weekday
Something I won't forget. A lifelong scar.
You were my shoulder at my Pap's grave. You was at the bar.
Drugs, booze, clubs. Happy, go. Lucky wasted. Frolic
How you bring it to my door, knowing I'm an alcoholic
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
How can you be so far away lying by my side
Looking in your eyes there ain't no love just confliction

You looked like you're in and out of room but I believed you're mine
