Taste The Pain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Flat on my back in a lonely sprawl
I stare at the ceiling, 'cause I cannot fall
Asleep tonight
No, not at all
Head lights flash across my bedroom wall
Crying eyes open, 'cause I cannot fall
In love with you
No, not at all
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
Busted in two like a brittle stick
I can not drink, because my throat constricts
Lovesick from you
That will never do
Open my mouth, I couldn't make a sound
I could not scream, you know I could not shout
It out to you
Nothing to do
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
This may come as a shocking surprise
I have to take a walk, I have to kiss it goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
I am not alive
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid?
Funny how the price gets paid
How the price gets paid
Well I got to pay, I got to pay the price
I think I'll walk away
'Cause I couldn't survey, I couldn't pay
I couldn't price
