Pain

Verse 1 I can trace the lines upon my skin Every mark has where it’s been Every hurt has time to fade Every shadow finds the light of day But this one hides behind my eyes Lives in all my quiet nights No clear edges, no release Just a heart that can’t find peace Pre-Chorus You can say I’ll be okay But you can’t feel what I can’t say Chorus I’d take the ache I can explain I’d take a simple kind of pain Give me something I can see Not this weight inside of me I’d take the fall, I’d take the strain Over this slow, endless rain Give me something I can move Something I can make it through Verse 2 A tired body learns to rest Finds its way back from the stress But this keeps pulling at my mind Like a shadow I can’t leave behind You can’t measure what it costs To feel like something good is lost I smile like I’m standing tall But I feel like I’m about to fall Pre-Chorus They say time will make it right But it still feels close each night Chorus I’d take the ache I can explain I’d take a simple kind of pain Give me something I can see Not this weight inside of me I’d take the fall, I’d take the strain Over this slow, endless rain Give me something I can move Something I can make it through Bridge I don’t want to disappear I just want this to feel clear If I could choose the road I’m on I’d choose the one that feels less long Final Chorus I’d take the ache I can explain I’d take a simple kind of pain Give me something I can see Not this weight inside of me I’d take the fall, I’d take the strain Over this slow, endless rain Give me something I can move Something I can make it through Outro Some hurts heal in ways we see Some just live inside of me.
