 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw the suits, I saw the smile
I saw the knife in the middle of the pile
You sold my name like it was rent
Now I’m out here where the real ones went

You wanted me small, wanted me bent
Wanted my fire with the oxygen spent
I kept my soul in a locked-up box
Now I’m kicking back when the door unlocks

[Pre-Chorus]
I turned my face to the ones who lied
Let them talk while I rebuilt mine
Every scar on me learned to shine
I was down, now I’m back in line

[Chorus]
Back on my side, back on my side
I took the hit, I survived
Back on my side, back on my side
You hate me loud, but I’m alive (I’m alive)

Back on my side, back on my side
I cut the chain, I changed my life
Back on my side, back on my side
I fell hard, then I climbed

[Verse 2]
Now they watch when I walk in late
Like the girl they knew got replaced
Same hands, but a steadier grip
Same heart, but a sharper lip

I burned out trying to please that room
Grinning wide in a borrowed tomb
Now I breathe like I own my lungs
Tell that noise I’m not the one

[Pre-Chorus]
I turned my face to the ones who lied
Let them talk while I rebuilt mine
Every scar on me learned to shine
I was down, now I’m back in line

[Chorus]
Back on my side, back on my side
I took the hit, I survived
Back on my side, back on my side
You hate me loud, but I’m alive (I’m alive)

Back on my side, back on my side
I cut the chain, I changed my life
Back on my side, back on my side
I fell hard, then I climbed

[Bridge]
I don’t need the room they made
I don’t need the price they paid
I found my name in the mess they left
Found my pulse in the aftermath

So keep your cold looks, keep your doubt
I know what broke me, I know what got out
I’m not the bruise, I’m the proof
I came back meaner, came back true

[Chorus]
Back on my side, back on my side
I took the hit, I survived
Back on my side, back on my side
You hate me loud, but I’m alive (I’m alive)

Back on my side, back on my side
I cut the chain, I changed my life
Back on my side, back on my side
I fell hard, then I climbed
