Beside you

Marianas Trench
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it’s in your spine, like you’ve walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

And if your heart wears thin,

I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you

When you’re overwhelmed and you’ve lost your breath

And the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach, but they’ve never been so loud

And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up

And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you

I will stay
Nobody will break you
Yeah

Trust in me, trust in me

Don’t pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me
I’m just trying to keep this together,
‘Cause I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense,

And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

And if your heart wears thin,

I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

If your heart wears thin,

I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I will stay beside you
Nobody will break you
 Beside you

Why does it take so long to gain trust when you can lose it in a few
small words? I believe the song “Beside You” has forms of trust and
distrust in it. In the phrase “just trust in me, trust in me” is telling me
that he is in a relationship and his partner doesn’t trust him or someone
he is close to doesn’t trust him for another person’s actions. When he
says “I will stay, nobody will beak you” it tells me she was in a previous
relationship and that she doesn’t trust him because she thinks he will
hurt her, however he says that he will stay and he is not like the other
guy. When he says “I’m just trying to keep this together cause I could
do worse and you could do better” makes me believe that he is doing a
lot of the work in the relationship because he is saying that “I could do
worse” which implies that he is doing too much and the phrase “you
could do better” is saying that she is not doing enough in their
relationship. These are my three key points on how “beside you” has
forms of trust in it. However if you think about how he is asking for the
trust there must not be any trust on the other end.
