SIDE EFFECTS Lyrics by Julia Alexa

​bandaids

2024

[Verse 1]
I hate how we touch and I feel alive
Stay away tonight and I won't survive
Used to always think I was hard to love but this time I'm not right
You don't know you saved me from myself
Every day alone has hurt like hell
With your arms around me, I find my peace
You'll be safe with me

[Chorus]
You're the drug that I can't quit
Can't fall too hard, or it'll make me sick
And I don't wanna start to trip
When all the side effects start to hit
Now I'm addicted to this feeling
It's in the blood rushing through me
And I know that I should quit
Before the side effects start to hit

[Verse 2]
I'm rotting in my bed when you're not around
Telling you I'm fine when I feel let down
'Cause it's not your fault I rely on you, but I'm your problem now
This codependency will end up killing me
Get anxious when you talk to me differently
Demons that I just can't get to leave
Hope you'll never see

[Chorus]
You're the drug that I can't quit
Can't fall too hard, or it'll make me sick
And I don't wanna start to trip
When all the side effects start to hit
Now I'm addicted to this feeling
It's in the blood rushing through me
And I know that I should quit
Before the side effects start to hit

[Outro]
You're the drug that I can't quit
(You're the drug that I can't quit)
You're the drug that I can't quit
(You're the drug that I can't quit)
