Beside You

Everything that you're saying sounds like heartburn It's pain in the back of your throat A feeling that stays while the heart learns How to deal with being alone This last year has been rough And the words aren't enough But there's one thing I'm learning that's true It all feels like a test, besides you When the day feels like going through the motions And the noise is too loud to think clear Just remember that nothing lasts, darling Won't be long till there's nothing to hear The way that we see it, the time we spend being It's just one angle we get to view I'll lay it all down to rest, beside you If one morning you wake to a memory Of my short time allowed to be seen I'll be waiting around for you softly But until then you're gonna be free It's a hand that was dealt What it meant to be felt But when it ends it will always be true I'm nowhere unless I'm beside you
