Next to Me

I look up at the sky and I see you in my eyes and I’m almost blown away

Almost looked down at the ground and how, I was taught to pray

Told myself I’m only strong if I can finally say

I found the one that holds me up and sends me on my way

Now I’m headed down this road, and, maybe I’ll be late

But I’m only one man and I’m doing all I can

Can you stand there with me, can you hold my name?

Will you save my soul from going down in flames?

I just wanna look back in the past of mine

Know that I made it with a passion rhyme

With you standing by my side when I pass my prime

When I hang that mic up, I’ll be fine

Did I do enough, did I live the life that I

Set out for, did I learn to fly?

Did I change a life?

Did I reach my height?

Did I aim the right way when I was aiming high?

Do I make you proud when you think of me?

Do you believe in my words so faithfully?

When I tell you that I’m really coming home to you

When I tell you that I know that we’re meant to be

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide

I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide

I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

Looking at the man in the mirror

The man in the mirror isn’t looking at me

Looking at the man in the mirror

The man in the mirror isn’t looking at me

I remember when we met, I was in a bad place of mind, and you didn’t walk away

You just stood there right there by my side and you told me I was great

I’ll never forget the first day that I saw your pretty face

I knew right then I was on the road and I finally found my way

Now I’m headed down this road, and maybe I’ll be late

But I’m only one man and I’m doing all I can

Can you stand there with me, can you hold my name?

Will you save my soul from going down in flames?

I just wanna make life with the love of mine

Never look back to the bad place that I’ve

Come from, that I’ve been numb from

Now that I’m something, I just wanna make you mine

I wanna talk with you, I wanna walk with you, I wanna build this empire

Rock with you, and take it off with you, I wanna spend all of my time

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide

I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide

I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide

I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

Looking at the man in the mirror

The man in the mirror isn’t looking at me

Looking at the man in the mirror

The man in the mirror isn’t looking at me
