By Your Side
Finding Light in Friendships' Shadows
Lyrics
I got word today
Receiving news or information today
A friend gone done me wrong
A friend has betrayed or hurt the speaker
And that's alright
Acceptance of the situation, recognizing it's okay
'Cause bad thing don't last long
Confidence that negative things are temporary
They made me believe
Feeling deceived by those believed to be friends
Believe they were my friends
Believing in the friendship, which is proven false
But I'm not blind
Awareness of the situation, not oblivious
Blind to see it end
Realization that the friendship is coming to an end
But you know what
Positive attitude despite the betrayal
I'm going to be just fine
Confident outlook, anticipating recovery
'Cause I'm going home tonight
Returning home as a symbolic or literal comfort
I'm gonna be right by your side
Expressing commitment to be close during difficult times
It's gonna feel so good
Anticipation of a positive and comforting experience
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be supportive
Ask how you're doin'
Asking about well-being without receiving a response
And don't even get a reply
Feeling overlooked or dismissed
I guess they think
Perceived as just another ordinary person
I'm just another guy
Others' perception of the speaker as unremarkable
Quick to forget
Quickness to forget the speaker's past friendships
About the friends you had
Reference to the friends the speaker used to have
But then again
Consideration that the friends might be pleased
I really think you're glad
Speculation about the friends' happiness
But you know what
Positive outlook despite the situation
I'm going to be just fine
Confidence in overcoming difficulties
'Cause I'm going home tonight
Returning home as a source of comfort
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reiterating commitment to be close during difficulties
It's gonna feel so good
Anticipation of a positive and comforting experience
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be supportive
I'm comin' home baby
Expressing the intention to return home
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be close during difficulties
I can't wait, I can't wait
Expressing eagerness or impatience
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be supportive
I'm comin' home baby, comin' home
Expressing the intention to return home
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reiterating commitment to be close during difficulties
It's gonna feel so good
Anticipation of a positive and comforting experience
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be supportive
I can't wait baby no
Expressing eagerness or impatience
I said I'm gonna be right by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be close during difficulties
It's gonna feel so good
Anticipation of a positive and comforting experience
I'm gonna be right by your side
Reaffirmation of the commitment to be supportive
