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 the pain away

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
