Alex Wilson - Wayside Lyrics

I know that you gave life to me
That doesn't mean you get away so easily
Oh, can't you see
That shelter's not enough for me
You either work and play your life away
Or you can't handle the pressure you're expected to pay
Either way, I'm left by the wayside
You're oblivious to my state of mind
You barely remember my favorite times
It's apparent you just don't know
They were with you!
Have you ever felt what it's like left by the wayside
Removed from all you know and not asked back
I'll admit my behavior has not been great
Just a worthless attempt to relate
I'm not asking for more of your hollow love
I just want some time from you and your worn out life
'Stead your asking for, even more from me
'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency
It hurts when you hear of the fear to get near
From those you don't expect to protect their own neck
When they don't even know your life
They don't even know my strife
I guess that you don't wanna deal with my drama
So you break your promise cause me more trauma
You think I'm just a bad kid
But I'm just another kid
When you finally accept me in
But you change my name to something mundane
And I want your acceptance so I play your game
Now I'm not shrouded in poverty
I live in your world of sympathy
But the perfect life of those all around
Doesn't make it any better when you're thrown to the ground
From those you expect to fight your fight
Instead they only fight you
I promise that that fear is worse than your fear
Of accepting me in because of my sin
Which of your idols are you selectin
Which of your possessions are you protectin
So if you're the one that gave life to me
Times up! Step up! Responsibility!
Or if you're the one that visits the wayside
Don't leave me there, come hang by my side
Ooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me by the wayside
Nooooo, oooh, oooh, oooh
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me
Ooooh, aaaa, aaaa, oooh
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me by the wayside
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me
Aaaah, aa, aa, aa, aa, aa, oooh, oh, oh
Oooh, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, aaah, aaah
I'm not asking for more of your hollow love
I just want some time from you and your worn out life
'Stead your asking for, even more from me
'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency
I'm not asking for more of your hollow love
I just want some time from you and your worn out life
'Stead your asking for, even more from me
'Cause now I'm on the wayside you expect resiliency
Ooooh, oooh
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me by the wayside
Ooooh, oooh
Don't leave me by the wayside, no
Don't leave me
Ya ever felt what it's like left by the wayside?
