Still On My Side

Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke up in the next room
same heart, new view
Learned how to stand up
after all I went through

No more running my mouth
no more running away
I learned how to breathe slow
and I learned how to stay

I saw you in the hard nights
I saw you in the rain
When my hands were shaking
you still knew my name

We were carrying pieces
we were carrying scars
Now I look at the ceiling
and I thank every star

Pre-Chorus
We made it through the fire
with our hands held tight
One step at a time
we came back to light

Chorus
Still on my side
still on my side
I’ll keep you in my life
keep you in my life

Still on my side
still on my side
Clean and sober, we rise
clean and sober, we rise
(we rise)

Verse 2
I know healing is lonely
when the room gets cold
But you stayed in the process
when the story got old

You showed me patience
when I had none left
You were making room for the future
in the middle of the wreck

I will always love you
for the chance to grow
For the lessons we carried
and the truth we now know

We learned how to listen
we learned how to give
Now I see that recovery
is a way that we live

And if one of us stumbles
I’ll be there, I swear
Like the light in the window
saying, “I’m still here”

Pre-Chorus
We made it through the fire
with our hands held tight
One step at a time
we came back to light

Chorus
Still on my side
still on my side
I’ll keep you in my life
keep you in my life

Still on my side
still on my side
Clean and sober, we rise
clean and sober, we rise
(we rise)

Bridge
I won’t forget your name
I won’t forget your face
You were part of the healing
part of the grace

If the road gets heavy
and the nights get long
I’ll be the one you can call on
I’ll be the one still strong

Chorus
Still on my side
still on my side
I’ll keep you in my life
keep you in my life

Still on my side
still on my side
Clean and sober, we rise
clean and sober, we rise
(we rise)
