pain away
must you create crisis just to challenge your will
you've got to make it hard, just so you can feel the pain,
and then you do it again
I know you try so hard just to make it real,
push a little bit harder until you can feel the pain
and then you do it again
why don't you take a look at yourself
you'd drink a poison to cure an ill
the bird you set free can't fly with broken wings
and you have to be lost to find a tune to sing
i know the love runs deep, i know the passion burns
just because you can feel it doesn't mean that you learn any more
you gotta let it go
i know you're lookin' for the perfect alibi
but if you walk out that door you kiss it all goodbye and you know,
you gotta let it go
why don't you take a look at your life, the truth you seek may be a lie
you build a wall of pain, to keep the fear at bay
but you wouldn't have to build a wall at all, if you stay
baby please don't go away, i know we can make it if you stay
the love runs deep but the passion fades, the love can take the pain away
the love can take the pain away, the love can take the pain away
