The Red Effect Lyrics

The lines on the table, she leaned in and sniffed

She let it sink in and then she asked for a kiss

And if ignorance is bliss, than this is nirvana

And by tonight I'll have her and I don't even want her

And I even tried to warn her, but she's too far gone

She doesn't hear a word, she just wants to play along

She hears that song, "Slowly Coming Apart"

And asks who it's about, who was in my thoughts

And I never say your name, I'm a little embarrassed

And she's not the kind of girl you give details and share with

So I change the subject but can't change my train of thought

It's hard to differentiate between need and want

'Cause with you they're the same, the same exact vice

And without you here, it's a whole different life

And it doesn't add up, I'd really love to know

How you're so far out of reach and I still can't let go

'Cause I'm still standing, right where you left me

And I'll still love you, if you'll still let me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

And now it's like the whole world's against me

I'm still standing, right where you left me

And I'll still love you, if you'll still let me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

And now it's like the whole world's against me

I put lines on the paper that point in your direction

And he over analyzes every sentence

He mentions your name and I fidget in my seat,

And I can't explain myself 'cause I can't find the words to speak

And "doctor" wants me to want you a little less

And he says he wants me to want these Percocets

He hears that song, "If It Ain't Love..."

And he's pretty convinced that I need these drugs

To get you off my mind and get out of this rut

He wants to know more and that's way too much

So I change the subject but can't change my train of thought

It's hard to differentiate between need and want

'Cause with you they're the same, the same exact vice

And without you here it's a whole different life

And it doesn't add up, I'd love to know why

You're already gone and I still can't say goodbye

'Cause I'm still standing, right where you left me

And I'll still love you, if you'll still let me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

And now it's like the whole world's against me

I'm still standing, right where you left me

And I'll still love you, if you'll still let me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

And now it's like the whole world's against me

The lines in the sand and now I know the boundaries

I see the finish line and you're there without me

And I hear that song, "I Feel Like Dying"

And down deep we both know that I wasn't lying

But then again, how could I? Your eyes see right through me

I guess I never figured that your future would exclude me

But every line I write just directs me right towards you

So if you don't mind, I'll be waiting here for you

And I'll be waiting, right where you left me

Trying to figure out if you're trying to forget me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

But I'll still love you, if you'll still let me

I'm still standing right where you left me

Trying to figure out if you're trying to forget me

There's no more you here and there's even less me

But I'll still love you, if you'll still let me
