By My Side - Ignite

It’s a battle all my own

But steadfast right by my side

Best friend I’ve ever known

You’ve always had my back

Lost my stability

Straight down bloodied up my face

Pick myself up again

But wind up on two feet

It’s a battle all my own

Machinery you can’t control

Others complain about their worst

Troubles you wish were your own

As the seasons roll on by

You realize you’re getting older

It’s a battle all my own

What have I learned

Best friend I’ve ever known

The innocence as we’ve grown

Been beaten down before

Her good luck brings me home

Through good times and betweeen

The bad times made the difference

I slept wel constantly

Knowing you’ll never leave

There was strangers in our midst

But steadfast right by my side

Had many enemies

You always had my back

It’s a battle all my own

Machinery you can’t control

Others complain about their worst

Troubles you wish were your own

As the seasons rolll on by

You realize you’re getting older

It’s a battle all my own

What have I learned

The stares

The glares

The battle and fights

This malice

Put upon you can’t be all right

The trouble

The ill intent

I’m sorry for you

Never yet again

Rearranging the truth

She holds my head up high

When I can’t see

She fills my mind with thoughts

Good memories

She shuts me up when I’m screaming angry

She gives me guidance when I have no peace

You stayed in my corner to fight

Stayed by my side I’m so tired

Stayed by my wrongs and by my rights

It’s a battle all my own

Machinery you can’t control

Others complain about their worst

Troubles you wish were your own

As the seasons roll on by

You realize you’re getting older

It’s a battle all my own

What have I learned
