I'm the reason you stay sober
I'm the reason that you drink

and when your heart starts fallin'
I can make you stop and think
Everybody feels me, but no one

out there really wants to know me

I'm the chip that's on your shoulder

that you can't seem to shake
And the reason you grow colder
'Cause you make the same mistakes

I can help you learn right from wrong
and even make you stronger if you let me
Everybody knows my name


Chorus


Pain, pain

You can try your best to hide me

but there ain't no disguise
You can smile just to spite me
but I'm still there in your eyes

The only way you can erase me
is to turn around and face me
and stop running


I guess you only got myself to blame


Chorus

Pain, Pain


Bridge


If it weren't for me, there ain't no way
you would ever learn, to stay out of the fire
for the fear of getting burned,


And in the moment love can hurt you
is the moment I return, and take

a seat, in your memory

One day you're gonna leave me

and peace you're gonna find
Cause there ain't no place
in heaven, for all the tears

you cry, and into your father's
arms you'll go and bless the day
you finally rose above me

But in the hearts of those who loved
you, I'll remain


Pain, Pain

Pain, Whoo Pain


Whoo oh Pain
