Let me catch my breath

Didn't know I went so long without exhaling

I'm finally waning

I need to take a half step back

To see the full scope of what we've been painting

These strokes are changing

And I think I may be coming down

When you've stopped the ground from shaking

And your heads no longer aching

Cause you found the remedies to treat your pain

There are always side effects

To anything that helps you with the healing

These ones got me reeling

But I know I shouldn't run away

From the thing that hеlps me numb the pain

But concealing doеsn't mend the breaks

It always comes with side effects

Side Effects

I thought I'd finally fixed it all

When your arms were out to catch my fall

But it's seems there always one more wall

To crash into before you reach the hall

That leads you out into the light

And frees you from all the same fights

Convinced myself it'd feel so right

To be picked up taken to new heights

But this view is frightening

And suddenly I'm questioning

If this should be my remedy

When you've stopped the ground from shaking

And your heads no longer aching

Cause you found the remedies to treat your pain

There are always side effects

To anything that helps you with the healing

These ones got me reeling

But I know it's wrong to run away

After promising I was ready

But how could we know how things would change

After feeling the side effects

It seems that maybe we

Ran too quickly

Cause now I'm stumbling

Can't keep up with the pace you've set for me

And the ground just started shaking

And my heads feeling the aching

That the remedies were supposed to fade away

It may all be the side effects

From making you my reason to start healing
