By Your Side Video (MV)

We went to see the doctor
He said your heart was two times small
He said that you can feel the difference
I said you've hardly loved at all

When we told it to your father
He broke down on the kitchen floor
We watched him crumble from a distance
It made him cry a little more

You try your hardest not to feel
And the life you lead just isn't real
Yet I will feed you when you're sick
I will sit with you, my dear

I saw you cry against her tombstone
The mother who taught you not to feel
I'm sure she cried with you, baby
But she would warn you not to heal

And when it shrinks a little smaller
And when you all stay firm and strong
I will show you what love is
Like I have shown you all along

You try your hardest not to care
And the life you lead lies plain and bare
Yet I will feed you when you're sick
I will lay with you, my dear
I'll lay by your side, I'll lay by your side
I'll lay by your side

I try my hardest not to care
At the thought of you not being there
But I won't resent you if you leave
Just shrink my heart as I grieve
