Love Has It's Side Effects

I feel your hand touch mine, and suddenly I'm blind. I can't see where I'm going. I can taste you on my lips, and my heart sinks like a ship. And I don't know what I'm doing. So, I lay in my bed. I'm trying to get you out of my head, But I smell you on my pillow. All I can do is try and catch a glimpse of you, So, I'm staring out my window. Every time you walk away, I just wanna beg you to stay. Every single time I commit this sin, I fear I'll never see you again. And I see you in my dreams, whenever I fall asleep. Can't you see? This is what you do to me. I know it makes you weak every time I kiss your cheek. That's why I kiss you as much as I can. And I just wish you could see, how much you mean to me, But you will never understand. So, I try to explain how much pleasure and pain You cause me to feel. Sometimes, I wanna die, but when I look into your eyes, I know this is real. Every time you walk away, I just wanna beg you to stay. Every single time I commit this sin, I fear I'll never see you again. And I see you in my dreams, whenever I fall asleep. Can't you see? This is what you do to me. You've made me so weak, And I'm starting to think That I can't survive without you next to me. Oh, baby, I never thought I'd see This embodiment of ecstasy. Oh, darling, you've set me free. Oh, darling, you've set me free. Every single time I close my eyes, I'm begging to be by your side. You're the one that makes my heart skip a beat, and I'm kneeling at your feet. And you're the girl of my dreams, whenever I fall asleep. Can't you see? This is what you do to me.
