I was a girlYou was a manI was too youngTo understandI was naiveI just believedEverything that you told meSaid you were strongProtecting meThen I found outThat you were weakKeeping me thereUnder your thumbCause you were scaredThat I'd becomeMuch more than you could handleShining like a chandelierThat decorated every roomInside the private Hell we builtAnd I dealt with itLike a kid I wishedI could fly awayBut insteadI kept my tears insideCause I knew if I startedI'd keep crying for the restOf my life with youI finally built up the strengthTo walk awayDon't regret itBut I still live with theSide effectsWaking up scared some nightsStill dreaming about them violent timesStill a little protectiveAbout the people that I let insideStill a little defensiveThinking folk be trying to run my lifeStill a little bit depressed insideI fake a smileAnd deal with the side effectsSide effectsSide effectsSide effectsSide effectsThinking insideNo-one was thereCouldn't be realHad to keep quietOnce in a whilePut up a fightIt's just too muchNight after nightAfter awhile I would just lieYou was dead wrongSaid you was rightDid what I couldJust to surviveCouldn't believeThis was my lifeFlickering like a candleDoing my best to handleSleeping with the enemyAware that he was smotheringEvery last part of meSo I broke awayAnd finally found the strengthI kept my tears insideCause I knew if I startedI'd keep crying for the restOf my life with youI finally built up the strengthTo walk awayDon't regret itBut I still live with theSide effectsWaking up scared some nightsStill dreaming about them violent timesStill a little protectiveAbout the people that I let insideStill a little defensiveThinking folk be trying to run my lifeStill a little bit depressed insideI fake a smileSide effectsSide effectsSide effectsSide effectsForgive but I can't forgetEvery day I'm filled with thisI live with the side effectsBut I ain't gonna letThem get the best of me
