Side Effects Of The Heart

From the first beat, opening your eyes

That first breath, first kiss, feel a break for the first time

Some things in life you can't explain, no

It's the only one you got, but you still gotta give it away

Even strong ones are born unstable

It oughta come with a warning label

First comes love and then comes the lonely

Then you're climbing up the walls 'til the phone rings

You're in heaven, then you're dying

Then you're just so happy that you can't stop crying

There's no cure for it and that's the hardest part

We're all a mess living with the side effects of the heart, yeah

I spent nights with an angel on my chest

Woke up many a morning with whiskey on my breath

Yeah, it's great when it's good, it's hell when it's bad

No, there ain't no prescription for that

First comes love and then comes the lonely

Then you're climbing up the walls 'til the phone rings

You're in heaven, then you're dying

Then you're just so happy that you can't stop crying

There's no cure for it and that's the hardest part

We're all a mess, living with the side effects of the heart

Can't sleep, can't eat, you're losing weight

Your friends all think you're crazy

Night sweats, drunk texts, old love, regrets

You're not yourself lately

First comes love and then comes the lonely

Then you're climbing up the walls 'til the phone rings

You're in heaven, then you're dying

Then you're just so happy that you can't stop crying

There's no cure for it and that's the hardest part

We're all a mess, living with the side effects of the heart

Oh yeah, we're all a mess living with the side effects of the heart

(First comes love and then comes the lonely, the lonely)

(Ooh)
