Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You walk past me in the hallway

Eyes on some old photograph

You say you’re hard to love

Like that’s brand new

I’m folding all your sweaters

Memorizing every fraying thread

You treat your heart like borrowed time

I treat it like the truth

[Pre-Chorus]

You keep erasing every moment

Like we were chalk in summer rain

But I’ve been the hand on your shoulder

In every crowded place

[Chorus]

I was always on your left side

In the shadows of your bright life

Holding up the sky you thought would fall

You can try and call it nothing

Call me no one, call it small

But I am the quiet vow behind it all

(Always)

Always on your left side

Even when you swear you feel alone

[Verse 2]

You drink your coffee standing

Back against the kitchen sink

You joke you’re hard to read

I learned your lines by heart

Every Sunday, every breakdown

Every “I’m fine” said too fast

You forget to say my name

But I’ve known you from the start

[Pre-Chorus]

You keep on turning down the volume

On everything that looks like grace

But I’ve been the key in your pocket

You never had to chase

[Chorus]

I was always on your left side

In the corners of your hard nights

Keeping all the pieces that you dropped

You can try and call it habit

Call me background, call it soft

But I am the one who stays when you get lost

(Always)

Always on your left side

Even when you swear you feel alone

[Bridge]

You promised you’d never need me

So I promised I’d still stay

You forget I ever happened

I remember every day

If loving you is standing

In the place you never check

Then I will be that shadow

Pressed against your steady chest (oh)

[Chorus]

I am always on your left side

Past and present in the same light

I’m the quiet word you never say

You can try and learn to miss me

Try to fade me from the frame

But I am the promise living in your name

(Always)

Always on your left side

I was, I am, I’ll be

Always
