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

When I Met Her
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
