Story Behind The Song

This is one of my most personal songs, yet, I intentionally wrote it so that every listener could relate. It's about each person's struggle to be part of a serious relationship and still maintain their independence & individual identity.

Lyrics

"PAIN"

VERSE I
can't take another heartbreak.
can't take your past away.
can't make another mistake.
can't make this choice today.

can't get my feet to move forward.
can't let you carry me.
can't get you to keep your word.
can't let you marry me.

CHORUS
Pain...I know you feel it.
Pain...I'm drownin' in a sea.
Pain...Why won't you heal it?
Pain...All around me.

VERSE II
ain't gonna' live up to your memory.
ain't gonna' live in your fantasy.
ain't gonna' give up 'til I mend me.
ain't gonna' give into all my needs.

ain't gonna' stand livin' for the weekend.
ain't gonna' stand bein' in the way.
ain't gonna' hang over the deep end.
ain't gonna' hang up on me again.

CHORUS
Pain...I know you feel it.
Pain...I'm drownin' in a sea.
Pain...Why won't you heal it?
Pain...All around me.

BRIDGE
Free...Free me on this side of sane.
Free...Free from this...

CHORUS
Pain...I know you feel it.
Pain...I'm drownin' in a sea.
Pain...Why won't you heal it?
Pain...All around me.

VERSE III
don't hate small men with no goals.
don't hate the ones in my way.
won't wait to know 'cause I'm too bold.
won't wait to hear my story told.

CHORUS (2x)
Pain...I know you feel it.
Pain...I'm drownin' in a sea.
Pain...Why won't you heal it?
Pain...All around me.

2ND TIME ENDING
Pain...Set Me... Free.
