By Your Side

[Verse 1]
Cigarettes and time
Ketamine and wine
There's all these faceless opponents
Who talk like they own us inside
And you make it clear
That the blackest of hearts don't fear
And we never prayed
So let me love you once more
'Fore you slip back down into the waves

[Chorus]
By your side
Oh how I tried, and lied
I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you

[Verse 2]
The criminal ain't the crime
And this kind of love ain't divine
And there's all these magical moments
That sneak up and throw us aside
But you left me here
With the blackest of hearts so cavalier
And we never prayed
So let me love you once more
'Fore you slip back down into the way

[Chorus]
By your side
Oh how I tried, lied
I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you

[Bridge]
Matches and sugarcane
I can't recognize what we became
Who was I lying next to you
When the gates open up below?

[Chorus]
By your side
Oh how I tried, and lied
I'll never stop givin' up, givin' up on you
Givin' up on you
Givin' up on you
