Stay by My Side

So, I know how you feel, and I’m sad.
But I feel it for real, and it makes me mad…
I can’t share all the feelings inside,
And still…you stay by my side.

But you have to believe I’m ok...
Even though to be honest I wouldn’t say…
This is my pain and my pain alone…
So with that said, please carry on…

‘Cause it’s not going to make me feel better, you know,
this pain that I’m feeling is the only thing I own.
This sickness has taken control and I’ll say…
I’m not ready to give up this way.

So, I’ll smile when you tell me,
that you understand.
And I’ll laugh and I’ll chuckle,
and give you my hand.
But don’t ask me to give it away…
This pain, with me it must stay.

‘Cause it’s not going to make me feel better, you know,
this pain that I’m feeling is the only thing I own.
This sickness has taken control and I’ll say…

I’m not ready to give up this way...
I'm not ready to give up this way...
I'm not ready to give up this way...

So, I know how you feel, and I’m sad.
But I feel it for real, and it makes me mad…
I can’t share all the feelings inside,
So please…
stay by my side...
