Lyrics

THIS SIDE OF MADNESS
words & music by Sarah Swanson ©
 
Insanity, please be a friend to me
Crazy, she just won't play fair
Lost touch with reality
Insanity, you'll be true to me
 
Never alone in a world that's made of one
I heard you knocking, but I couldn't let you in
Barely enough here for Insanity
I hope you'll understand
Put the blame... on me
 
THIS SIDE OF MADNESS
A WORLD I KNOW TOO WELL
THIS SIDE OF MADNESS
OH, YOU NEVER CAN TELL...
 
Opened the door once on a book of foolish hearts
Who knew the heart would shatter now that we're apart?
Insanity had the strength to see me through
One day closer to forgetting the likes of you
 
Don't for one moment think this love was lost
I paid at a very precious and intense cost
The money means nothing, but the soul can't be replaced
Insanity, I know... you're here to stay
 
THIS SIDE OF MADNESS
A WORLD I KNOW TOO WELL
THIS SIDE OF MADNESS
OH, YOU NEVER CAN TELL...
