Final version! So proud of this one.

lyrics

I wake up with tears on my lips
It's getting bad again
It's been so long since you and I parted ways
It's been so long since goodbye

That night on the road stays with me
It's in my mind most every day
I can't help but think
If it were me, would it change
Would the world see you smile another day

I can't make it on my own
And in the times I've tried
It's just turned out wrong
I can't walk this path alone
I need you here
To carry me along

I've been a walking shadow
A faint whisper, a memory
I look like a man, but there's nothing really here
But a broken heart and a lost soul wandering

I can't make it on my own
And in the times I've tried
It's just turned out wrong
I can't walk this path alone
I need you here

Because every day that shines
Is one more day alone
I'm stuck in time
Afraid to move on
How can I move on

When you're by my side
Need you by side

I can't make it on my own
And in the times I've tried
It's just turned out wrong
I can't walk this path alone
I need you here

Because when you're by my side
I know that I can do anything
I need you by my side
Yes, when you're by my side
I know that I can't be broken
