By My Side Lyrics - Lorrie Morgan

There's so much breakin' up 

Folks who won't fall in love 

Put up shelves, guard themselves 

Build walls 

And it makes me cry sometimes 

'Cause people live lonely lives 

They don't want to try 

They don't want to live at all 

But I'm not gonna be afraid 

To give up my heart that way 

'Cause I need you 

I need you by my side 

And I'm not gonna say I'm strong 

Out here in this world alone 

'Cause I need you 

I need you by my side 

And when you find someone 

Someone you really love 

It makes life easier to bear 

But some folks live on their own 

Shut themselves in at home 

They never find out what love's all about 

'Cause they're scared 

But I'm not gonna be afraid 

To give up my heart that way 

'Cause I need you 

I need you by my side 

I'm not gonna say I'm strong 

Out here in this world alone 

'Cause I need you 

I need you by my side 

'Cause I need you 

I need you by my side
