Side Effects Lyrics

Because I'm the one who's sitting here
I've got a lot tied up in these empty halls
I strain for questions without meaning when you're not here
I feel mechanics of your strain are breaking down
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e97881-curbside~side_effects_lyrics.html ]
I'm working on the side effects of this
It's early, I'm straight-faced looking in the mirror
I'm working on the side effects of this
I wish there was something left to say

Looking at me, you wouldn't know my name
Because you wouldn't believe that you couldn't mask this strain
I remember when you said
You used to know it all
You said you used to know it all
You said we'd never get it all
You said we'll never know it all

I'm working on the side effects of me
And when you still have life inside to tell me
I'm working on the side effects of me
Now there is no one left to sell you this

Looking at me, you wouldn't know my name
Because you wouldn't believe that you couldn't mask this strain
But now I'm playing for you

Because I was too afraid to
Spell it out in front of you that there's no time left
The people in your life you've loved they have never left
It's too far now but you won't know
The people you left
Have kept a piece of you with them all this time
But you won't see that
You never could see anything

Looking at me, you wouldn't know my name
Because you wouldn't believe that you couldn't mask this strain
I remember when you said
You used to know it all
You said you used to know it all
You said we'd never get it all
You said we'll never know it all
