Lyrics

Holding Off the Pain
© Nancy Kaawe 2006

Verse
I see you've assured yourself
It's only a passing phase
My love will weather your deception
Slowly the lonely days
Will turn me around

Chorus
If it makes you feel better,
It works for you
Go on convincing yourself,
That our love ain't through
And if you choose to believe,
I?ll come back to you
Know its just a delay,
HOLDING OFF THE PAIN

Verse
Inevitable devastation
And it will not go away
So irresistible, the temptation
To pretend we'll be okay
We can work it out

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
(You can party all night with some girl)
You know eventually
(You can spend all your time on your work)
You'll have to wake from the dream
(You can make up a world of denial because today)
But today you can?t cope
So today you must hope
But there's no way round the rain
You're only HOLDING OFF THE PAIN

(Repeat chorus)
