Beside Me

Verse 1

I’ve learned to walk through fire

With a smile upon my face

I’ve carried all my battles

And I’ve found my own way

I don’t need someone to save me

I don’t need a hand to hold

But there’s something about your silence

That makes me feel less alone

Pre-Chorus

You don’t ask me for the answers

You don’t tell me who to be

You just sit beside the pieces

And somehow, you still see me

Chorus

I don’t need you to breathe

I don’t need you to stand

I don’t need you to catch me

Every time I lose my balance

But when the whole world gets too loud

And I don’t know what to say

I just need you beside me

Just beside me

And somehow I’m okay

Verse 2

You can read between my silence

See the things I never show

You can hear it in my laughter

When there’s something underneath it all

And I know I could keep going

I’ve done it all before

But with you there in the doorway

I don’t have to be so strong

Pre-Chorus

You don’t try to fix my broken

You don’t turn away from scars

You just meet me where I’m standing

And remind me who we are

Chorus

I don’t need you to breathe

I don’t need you to stand

I don’t need you to catch me

Every time I lose my balance

But when the whole world gets too loud

And I don’t know what to say

I just need you beside me

Just beside me

And somehow I’m okay

Bridge

Maybe needing isn’t weakness

Maybe love is letting in

Someone who can see the darkness

And still stay when it gets dim

I could face another morning

I could make it on my own

But if you’re there when I wake up

I don’t have to feel alone

Chorus

I don’t need you to breathe

I don’t need you to stand

I don’t need you to catch me

I can catch myself again

But when the whole world gets too loud

And I’m fighting through the pain

I just need you beside me

Just beside me

Till I find my way

Outro

I’ll be okay on my own

I know I’ll find my way

I just want you beside me

At the end of the day
