I had to bring myself to stand that day
When you said
We were walking out the door
And I did it any way
I could not think
Of any better way to be

And I wouldn't try to say, I know how to behave
Or how I should live my life
Beyond the hurt
You take the pain away
Though I'm not so pretty or so young
Anymore

You take away the pain
You take away the pain
The pain
I want to hold you closer
I want to leave the gloom behind
I want our lifetimes wholer
I want to leave
The doom
Behind

You take away the pain
You take away the pain
You take away the pain
The pain
