I Am On Your Side
Hawthorne Heights · If Only You Were Lonely [2006]
sometimes these thoughts have a way making sense
secrets that we keep turn into accidents
if you burn away the bonds with the fires of selfishness
the positive the negative have a way of making ends
end this now we've gone too far
let's take back words that turned to scars
if i can find a way to turn back time
i had to let you know i'm on your side
took the easy way out i showed my self doubt
the only way to ease the pain is to drink until i drown
i'll say it out loud my voice is the only sound
so listen up, i'll spell it out
i need your help, i need it now
end this now we've gone too far
let's take back words that turned to scars
if i could find a way to turn back time
i had to let you know i'm on your side
am i now everything that you wanted me to be
tried my best took a shot in the dark and i lost
end this now
we've gone too far
let's take back words that turned to scars
if i could find a way to turn back time
i had to let you know i'm on your side
