On Your Side

I was waiting to say this at a better time
I was waiting to say this in another life
You break me down, I swear that it wasn't me
You break me down, I swear

If I am honest, I've been lying for a while
I broke a promise that I'd always make you smile
But I am on your side
I am on your side

I will never be better to you
Or give you the things you want
But I am on your side
I'm afraid I'm never going to make it right

Why the face? This doesn't have to be a fight
And settle down, I swear that it wasn't me
Please settle down, I swear
If I am honest, I've been lying for a while

And I acknowledge that I'm gonna keep on lying
But I am on your side
I am on your side
I will never be better to you

Or give you the things you want
I will never be better than this
Really, it's all I got
I will never be deserving of you

I'll leave if that's what you want
But I am on your side
