The Shadowboxers - Love On This Side Lyrics
I’ve laughed a lotAnd cried myself to sleepTook care to wash my handsBut forgot to breatheAnd I’ve learned that I’m a lossAnd I’ve lost all I have learnedFinding peace in empty miserySo that misery is empty within meAnd I buttoned up my shirt and I tucked it inWith headphones in my ears I pretend to tune inAnd I’ve played your metal handAnd I’ve handed you my cashNot knowing that the world has other pathsAnd I’m ignoring all the lessons of the pastAnd I’ve seenWhere I don’t want to goAnd I needThe after love glowNo I won’t take noRed means goI got love on this side of meI got love on this side of meI got love on this side of meAnd I turned a blind eyeToo many timesOn the nameless boyThat dwells inside my mindAnd I galvanized my heartTo protect it from the rainNot knowing that love requires painBut pain that’s washed in love cannot remainBut that’s as painful as the boy without a nameAnd I been up highAnd I watched the dance belowAnd it’s all the daysThat I let my joy take holdAnd I’m so grateful for the skyAnd the moon that makes the eyeSo I can see my feelings in the stoneAnd the stone can bear another broken boneAnd I’ve seenWhere I don’t want to turnAnd I needThe after love burnNo I won’t take noRed means goI got love on this side of meI got love on this side of meI got love on this side of meHey, I swear I’ll always love againHey, I swear I’ll always love againHey, I swear I’ll always love againHey, I swear I’ll always love again
