By My Side Lyrics

There's so much breakin' up
Folks who won't fall in love
Put up shelves, guard themselves
Build walls

And it makes me cry sometimes
'Cause people live lonely lives
They don't want to try
They don't want to live at all

But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
'Cause I need you
I need you by my side

And I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
'Cause I need you
I need you by my side

And when you find someone
Someone you really love
It makes life easier to bear

But some folks live on their own
Shut themselves in at home
They never find out what love's all about
'Cause they're scared

But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
'Cause I need you
I need you by my side

I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
'Cause I need you
I need you by my side

'Cause I need you
I need you by my side

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.
