[Verse 1] This is my side of the story Not a verdict, not a blame Just a little piece of truth From the heart behind my name You can hear it in the pauses Where I swallowed what I knew All the words I left unspoken Were still reaching out for you [Pre-Chorus] If you listen through the distance Maybe you’ll hear where I stayed I was standing in the middle Of the words I couldn’t say [Chorus] This is my side of the story (Just my side) This is my side of the story (I carried it inside) I carried it this way I carried it this way Between the hurt and mercy This is my side of the story [Verse 2] There were nights I almost called you Then I let the phone go cold Held my breath against the silence Let it settle in my soul I was trying to be honest With a heart that wouldn’t bend And the truth kept getting heavier Every time I said “I’m fine” [Pre-Chorus] If you listen through the distance Maybe you’ll hear where I stayed I was standing in the middle Of the words I couldn’t say [Chorus] This is my side of the story (Just my side) This is my side of the story (I carried it inside) I carried it this way I carried it this way Between the hurt and mercy This is my side of the story [Bridge] I can finally tell the difference Between regret and goodbye One keeps asking for a reason One just leaves me with the night No more chasing every answer No more turning back the page I still carry what we were But I carry it a new way [Final Chorus] This is my side of the story (Just my side) This is my side of the story (I carried it inside) I carried it this way I carried it this way Between the hurt and mercy This is my side of the story This is my side of the story (And I’m still standing here) This is my side of the story (At last, it’s clear) Between regret and goodbye I found the truth that I can keep This is my side of the story And it belongs to me
