My song!

Side-lines

I've always wanted bigger 
Sunshine don't shine on ma side of life
I was trying to be like the big boys
I swear it was just one of those days
My shape up was cool 
It was until after school
I was stopped round the corner of the corner shop
Police are telling me to slow down 
But I know that deep down 
It's all over 
I hear "Get on your knees"
Fighting the urge to freeze
Don't want to scream that could be the death of me 
I was just 15, I was just a teen 
A tag below my knees 
And even lower were my dreams 
All I wanted to be was enough 
Boys and girls don't get to much love 
I've been painted by a broken brush
This is why I say

Chorus

Pushed on the side-lines in my time
I'll put sunshine in my way 
Pushed on the side-lines in my time
Pushed on the side-lines in my time
I'll put sunshine in my way 
Pushed on the side-lines in my time

She always told me
They like to put a lot of people before me 
Can't even say what happened before me 
They've run out of time for my sob story (story)
For me no grass is greener 
I used to roll my skirt up just to feel prettier
I just want to feel alright
she needs love
Since she was 9 she's been told 
"You're not enough"
Playground or home 
The streets or her mind 
Wo-ah No bedtime (Belt?)
she looks and looks in the mirror or his arms
A symbol that she really is enough
Sixteen a mum is that really what you're on
It's all a blur oh

CHORUS

BRIDGE (ENDING)
On the sidelines
There's no one to trust 
So why do you judge
On the sidelines
All they want 
A Sunday kind of love 
Pushed on the sidelines 
What you want
They've had enough had enough
Lets all end this now for once
