(Verse 1) I thought I could forget you Like a song I didn’t like Just turn the volume lower And leave it all behind But every little memory Still finds a way back in Funny how a goodbye Can feel like it never ends (Pre-Chorus) I don’t miss the fighting I don’t miss the tears But I miss who I was Before you disappeared (Chorus) These are the effects of loving you The little things I never knew A photograph, a hallway, your name And suddenly I’m not okay I thought the pain would fade with time But you’re still living in my mind I don’t want you back, that’s the truth But these are the effects of loving you (Verse 2) I changed the way I take the long way So I don’t pass your street I stopped listening to our song But somehow hear it in my sleep And I laugh a little louder When somebody asks what’s wrong I’ve gotten pretty good at saying “I’m fine, I’ve moved along” (Pre-Chorus) Maybe healing isn’t clean Maybe scars don’t disappear Maybe getting over someone Means learning they were here (Chorus) These are the effects of loving you The little things I never knew A photograph, a hallway, your name And suddenly I’m not okay I thought the pain would fade with time But you’re still living in my mind I don’t want you back, that’s the truth But these are the effects of loving you (Bridge) And maybe one day I’ll hear your name And it won’t feel like yesterday Maybe one morning I’ll wake up And realize I’ve had enough Not enough of you Enough of missing you Enough of wondering What I could’ve done differently too (Final Chorus) These were the effects of loving you The things I had to learn to lose The photographs, the dreams, the pain The parts of me I couldn’t save But now the hurt is getting small And I don’t feel it every time at all I don’t want you back, that’s still the truth But I’m finally free from the effects of you (Outro) I loved you once And that’s okay But I don’t have to Love you today These are the effects… And they’re fading away.
