Side Effects

I was a girl, you was a man
I was too young to understand
I was naïve, I just believed
Everything that you told me
Said you were strong, protecting me
Then I found out that you were weak
Keeping' me there, under your thumb
'Cause you were scared that I'd become much
More than you could handle,
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room inside
The private hell we built,
And I dealt with it
Wishing I could fly away
But instead, I kept my tears inside
'Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying
For the rest of my life with you,
I was looking for a cure to pull me through
Try to decide which medicine to use
And every bottle has your name on the label
I'm taking three a day to help me smile
Decided I should wait and try it for a while
So I've been ignoring my symptoms,
And the small print on the back of my prescription
Nobody told me the side effects of you;
Waking up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times
Vacant inside,
Had to keep quiet
After awhile I would just lie,
Did what I could, just to survive
Couldn't believe this was my life,
Doing my best to handle sleeping with the enemy
knowing that he was smothering every last part of me
So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave
