By My Side

If you're gonna leave upon the day
 Least I have you for the night
 If you're gonna leave upon the day
 Least I have you for the night
 Cuz love, you can't replace it
 Who am I to keep you by my side?
 Nothing seems as far away
 As the heartbeat next to mine
 But nothing feels so far away
 No, I'm not complaining
 Cuz I've got my ways
 It's my heart, my beliefs
 I've counted the days
 Since I felt that release
 Then I lost your gaze
 In the cold of an autumn breeze
 What can I say?
 If you're gonna leave upon the day
 Least I have you for the night
 Cuz no love needs to be staying
 In my arms for all my life
 Find a better place
 Find a heart you'll feel alive with
 Cuz love, you can't replace it
 So who am I to keep you by my side
 By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
 By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
 Carefully, without a trace
 My emotions take a dive
 Like everything is out of place
 I'll get the green or on the chase
 Then take a drink and realize
 I've been here before
 So I've got my ways
 Got the cards up my sleeve
 I put out the blaze
 Swept the ash underneath
 If we're out of phase
 You can go if it's what you need
 What can I say?
 If you're gonna leave upon the day
 Least I have you for the night
 Cuz no love needs to be staying
 In my arms for all my life
 Find a better place
 Find a heart you'll feel alive with
 Cuz love, you can't replace it
 So who am I to keep you by my side
 By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh, by my side
 By my side, ooh-ooh-ooh
 No tears I cry will make you stay
 I'll dance alone, in smoke or rain
 Completely and serenely satisfied
 I find
 Cuz the mist meets my fingertips
 Embracing me with a smile
 Reminding me if I'm all alone
 It's only for a while
