There is something to be said about pain
How the simplest things can make your heart sink
That pit in your stomach
And the tingling in your jaw

There are times when I think I should have kept my mouth shut
And my heart pure
It makes me wonder if when I die,
Will my family build me a tomb
Or throw me away like trash

This is why pain hurts
It makes you think
And with all the thoughts I have
I can't help but wonder
How I could ever deserve her
How with all the pain I've endured
And the thoughts I have
She always decides to stay

I don't offer much but take all she gives
So why do I feel pain when she does?
Why can't I live without her?

My heart aches for her
And that leads me to wonder why she hurts
What her thoughts are
And why she needs me

If my heart is a wick, then she is the flame
A warmth that melts away my walls
And burns my fears to ash

So why do I hurt when I think of her?
Is the fear of losing or pushing her away?
What if I never said "hello"?
Would we be alive?
Would we have felt this pain?

She holds my hear in her hands
A light squeeze to let me know
She'll never let go

There's something to be said about love
How it always hurts
And is somehow more painful than death
