All The Pain In The World [archives 1989]

    ALL THE PAIN IN THE WORLD

We can't believe,
   the shit that happens to us.
We should have seen long ago,
   that love was not for us.
The words that we write,
   don't help us get through the night.
So we just turn out the light,
   and lay awake alone.
all the pain, all the pain in the world.
all the pain, you've caused us girl.
all the pain,
all the pain in the world.

Time after time,
   we put our heart on the line.
And we hurt no one,
   no one but our self.
Can't forget what she said -
   the lies that burn in our head.
We only live day to day,
   but we're a day behind.
all the pain, all the pain in the world.
all the pain, you've caused us girl.
all the pain,
all the pain in the world.

Those are the words,
   we always say to our self.
But on the day that she left
   those words had flown away.
Forget what we say
   we're going to just run away.
Get away from it all
   and try to hide the pain.
all the pain, all the pain in the world.
all the pain, you've caused us girl.
all the pain,
all the pain in the world.

We can't believe
   this shit keeps happening.
Every time we think it is right,
   something just goes wrong.
The words that we write
   help us deal with the fright.
But when we're alone at night
   we cannot fall asleep.
all the pain, all the pain in the world.
all the pain, you've caused us girl.
all the pain,
all the pain in the world.
