Side Effects of Love – Eddie Berger
Pre-Rap: This one goes out to a special someone who used to mean something in my life. You were everything to me, and when you left I had some recovery time, so I decided to put my feelings into verses and here's what I got.
Yeah
I've seen some crazy shit in my life
but nothing was as whack as that dark Tuesday night
I never had the time to figure out what had happened
All you did was drive away and then my life had blackened
I have never really blamed you for your decision
hell, I would've left me too without hesitation
the only thing I would've liked was an explanation
was I really that bad or did you just need a vacation
Honesty was all I was ever really looking for
But you won't even talk to me, no, not even once more
But hey, It's okay cause I guess you're fine now
cause you've got 2 kids and you've done said your weddin' vows
It's really nice to see that you're getting your life together
But I can't help to stay awake and dream of our adventures
*Yeah* I need you *Yeah*
I want you
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
*mm* I need you *Yeah*
I want you *Yeah*
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
(You meant a lot to me baby, and I thought I did too. Well, maybe not. All the times we hugged and kissed mean nothing now. And that's something that neither of us will ever get back. I cherished those moments, and when I hugged you, I hugged you like that was going to be the last time I ever saw you. Turns out, it was the last time.)
Yeah
Eventually, the pain really got to me
So I just popped another pill, they're my road to recovery
But that's when I stopped and I made the realization
That this wasn't healthy, it'll end in devastation
Turns out, that was the drugs talking to me
they were still right, but I couldn't see that clearly
Man, how did I ever let a girl tear me apart
The more I thought about you, the more you broke my heart
I really needed something that could help me fix my sore
So I jumped in my Chevy, and I left for the drug store
When I finally got there, my mind wasn't straight
I never really thought that this determined my fate
I slowly turned around and had a look in the mirror
I couldn't believe that the real me was slowly disappearin'
And I thought again “how did a girl do this to me”
Then I got on my knees and said “God, thanks for being with me”
*Yeah* I need you *Yeah*
I want you
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
*mm* I need you *Yeah*
I want you *Yeah*
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
Yeah
It took some time to finally get my life back together
And I really want to thank you for helping me get better
You made me realize something that was kind of strange
and that was that not even a woman should have ever made me change
So if their ever come a time when someone is in trouble
tell them to sit back, relax, and to forget about their struggles
*Yeah* I need you *Yeah*
I want you
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
*mm* I need you *Yeah*
I want you *Yeah*
I miss you, I love you, I never could forget you
