Battles Beside Me
[Verse 1] You made me see the person that I am Pulled the mirror closer to my hands Stayed when all my edges cut your skin Still you leaned in Still you leaned in [Pre-Chorus] You hold the line when I can't stand You talk me down You take my hand How do you give so much And still Carry your own hills [Chorus] You fight my battles with me While you're battling your own You hold my heart so steady When yours is breaking alone Every scar on your shoulder Says you shouldn't have to be this strong But you fight my battles with me Like you've been doing all along (oh-oh) [Verse 2] You laugh it off Say "that's just what we do" But I see every storm that lives in you You hide the rain behind a quiet smile Walk with me the extra mile [Pre-Chorus] You hold the line when I can't stand You talk me down You take my hand How do you keep that gentle light Burning through your night [Chorus] You fight my battles with me While you're battling your own You hold my heart so steady When yours is breaking alone Every scar on your shoulder Says you shouldn't have to be this strong But you fight my battles with me Like you've been doing all along [Bridge] One day I’ll carry you When your strength runs out (yeah) I’ll be the armor you Always talk about You won’t have to be so brave On your own On your own [Chorus] You fight my battles with me While you're battling your own You hold my heart so steady When yours is breaking alone Every scar on your shoulder Says you shouldn't have to be this strong So let me fight your battles with you Like you've been doing all along (all along)
