I'm On Your Side

I saw you in the womb
I heard your first cry in the room
I knew you wouldn't understand
I knew you'd turn your eyes away

Hush now, quiet down
Don't let yourself drown in this

Oh, oh… I'm on your side
I'm on your side

I saw you in your room
With a stomach full of pills
You don't remember anything
How I sat beside you and sang

Hush now, quiet down
Don't let yourself drown and forget

Oh, oh… I'm on your side
Oh, oh… I'm on your side

And you don't have hide
And you don't have to lie
Ever since you were a child
You had so much light
You were eight and I was four
Something had to change
Someday you'll come around
And lay it all down

I love you enough to tell you the truth
I love you enough to tell you the truth

You don't have to change for me
But love will never leave you the same

You don't have to change for me
But love will never leave you the same

You don't have to change for me
But love will never leave you the same
