Tortured Lyrics by Joan Red

Side Effects of You

2009

You think you're nothing in life
You've come so far
To let it go now
You're just one wish away

All I need
Is that one shot
With the blue in my veins
Take a step back
I'll blow you away

And I'm
Falling faster
Barely breathing
Cold as ice now
Strive through seething

But all I've got
Is one last shot
To prove I'm something

Every day
The same old ways
Color me gray
This thick left
Nothing will surely
Slowly fade away

We're only left to wonder
Is this life worth leading
Color me red
Surely this last time
Is worth something

And I'm
Falling faster
Barely breathing
Cold as ice now
Strive through seething

But all I've got
Is one last shot
To prove I'm something

The fall
From my soul
My heart stops beating
I'm barely breathing
I just gave it my all

And I'm not giving you up
My heart is showing you love
My hopes and dreams

How could you flirt with me
Over the lies
Over forgiveness
Over goodbyes
All for your love
You're all for yourself

But all I've got
Is one last shot

The fall
From my soul
My heart stops beating
I'm barely breathing
I just gave it my all

(Barely breathing)
(Barely breathing)
My all

All I need
Is that one shot
With the blue in my veins
Take a step back
I'll blow you away
I blew you away
