Lyrics
So many times you got the best of me
Had me quiverin? like a child
I never could say to you when you came around
Take off your coat, stay awhile
Emotional pain, I know your name
You hurt like hell, but you don?t lie to me
I don?t need a bottle, I don?t need a pill
To sugarcoat reality
So startin? right now, ?till the day I die
I?m lookin? you in the eye
Whenever I?m feeling that hurt inside
Seems like I might go insane
But I don?t need some chemical to help me fly away
Don?t need to find someone to blame
Emotional pain, I know your name
You hurt like hell, but you don?t lie to me
I don?t need a bottle, I don?t need a pill
To sugarcoat reality
So startin? right now, till the day I die
I?m lookin? you in the eye
You make us cry, you make us choose between
Growin? and throwin? our lives away
But you?re not the enemy of humanity
Just some heavy dues we gotta pay
Emotional pain, I know your name
You hurt like hell, but you don?t lie to me
I don?t need a bottle, I don?t need a pill
To sugarcoat reality
So startin? right now, ?till the day I die
I?m lookin? you in the eye
No I don?t need a bottle, I don?t need a pill
To sugarcoat reality
So startin? right now, ?till the day I die
I?m lookin? you in the eye
