Side Effects Lyrics - E=mc2 - Mariah Carey

It's M.C. and Y.J. 

Another hit, okay 

We lookin' fine, takin' off 

Saw us on a runway 

On any given Sunday, 

Monday, Tuesday 

They try to confuse me, 

I never let 'em use me 

I was a girl, you was a man 

I was too young to understand 

I was naive, I just believed 

Everything that you told me 

Said you were strong, protecting me 

Then I found out that you were weak 

Keepin' 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 

Like a kid I wished 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 finally built up the strength to walk away 

Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects 

Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times 

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside 

Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life 

Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

It didn't stop, no one was there 

Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet 

Once in awhile, put up a fight 

It's just too much, night after night 

After awhile I would just lie, 

You was dead wrong, said you was right 

Did what I could, just to survive 

Couldn't believe this was my life, 

Flickering like a candle 

Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy 

Whether he was smothering every last part of me 

So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave 

Still kept the tears inside 

Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying 

For the rest of my life with you 

I finally built up the strength to walk away 

Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects 

Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times 

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside 

Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life 

Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Hey, hey, hey 

Let's go! 

Hey Magnifico or should I say Magnificent? 

Ain't nothing worth your happiness 

And I ain't caring who you're with 

Misery love company so we ain't tryin' to hang with y'all 

Hurt you if ya let 'em in 

Gotta keep ya sucka smilin' 

Keep tryin' to play 

I tell him I ain't blowin' tho 

Think they want me outta here, 

I tell 'em I ain't goin' tho 

Side effects be drowsiness, 

Loneliness, 

How is this? 

I think the call it hateration, 

What can you prescribe for this? 

Forgive but I can't forget, 

Every day I deal with this 

I live with the side efffects 

But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me 

Forgive but I can't forget, 

Every day I deal with this 

I live with the side efffects 

But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me 

Kept my tears inside 

Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying 

For the rest of my life with you 

I finally built up the strength to walk away 

Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects 

Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times 

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside 

Still little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life 

Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects 

(Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh) 

Side effects (Oh, oh)
