Please. Give all your pain to me. Please. Give all your pain to me. You got two left just flush 'em down or give 'em both to me, just tell me that this loss I feel I'm not feelin' for free, and please. Give all your pain to me.
O God, help me to stop borrowin' your time, 'cause where we're from there's not much left unless you make it out alive, but I see it ain't that easy when you visit home and find that Please. Give all your pain to me.
You ran up to the mountain top but pain don't give up chase or stop just 'cause you think you're free, you **** it in the way your mama taught you on her knee. Please. Give all your pain to me.
I know two folks who died the year you cracked my wrist with sudden strength, hot fear, you seized up on my floor my GOD I cried so hard when I found out what the pills were for. I made a call for you and still today you called to say the same old ****. Give all your pain to me.
No I ain't mad, how could I be? I wish I hadn't done it too and made it out all safe and ****, and what makes me so different?
I sit up high in Boston, far from home, so far removed I didn't even know (her name here) died real quick then got up slow, I had to hear it in a booth with you and now I'm thinkin' 'bout the odds that you die too,
so young like (his name), still a teen, still runnin' on the football team 'til everyone in school just cried 'cause he weren't comin' back.
And (her name here) with flowing hair, she couldn't breathe. She used to sit right in the chair I sat by in our class.
It doesn't matter 'cause you cleaned yourself. But now we're here.
You promised me and I believed that I would never have to see you scream like that again, but please. Give all your pain to me.
