Next To You

You tell me you love one another
Your foot on the neck of your brother
You try to be done but you cut me down
You cut me down to size
I say it enough in the nighttime
I see it a lot in the sunshine
I'm telling my heart that I love you more
I love you more tonight

When you call me out
Call it what you like
This is not my bout
This is not my fight
All the love you bring
When we testify
I'll give you everything
I'll give you all my pride

Right next to you
Right next to you

Why do we even allow this
And how do we drift from the compass
And maybe I'm gone but you bring me back
You bring me back to life
And maybe there must be a reason
Or maybe it's something we're keeping
But love is enough to defend this heart
Destroy this evil mind

When you call me out
Call it what you like
This is not my bout
This is not my fight
All the love you bring
When we testify
I'll give you everything
I'll give you all my pride

People all around me try to make it through a day
Just give me all your hope so I can give it all away
And everyone around me has a purpose, has a name
Just take my heart and break it for the broken that you paid for
Everyone around me has a message to convey
Just figure out the picture and the little part you play

Right next to you
Right next to you
Right next to you
Right next to you
