By My Side Lyrics

i've been down before - so i chose to drink it away
used to wake up and pour it down - hurt the ones i love - everyday
today's a new day - a fresh start for me - now i look through sober eyes at the life i've made - love almost threw away
not gonna lose this time - gotta think straight
fight for whats mine - too many times - i've chosen the wrong path
stumbled my life through - over and over again
i've seen the look of pain - on your face
i hope it never comes back - found love - in my best friend
you stood by through it all - until the end a true friend
always by my side - by my side - by my side - been down before
over and over again - stumbled my life through
i'm stronger now that i have you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
