Lyrics
Future 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.
Old habits creep
Coming in the way they came before
Slowly filling in
Until you have an ocean at your door
There you are again
Sitting at the same spot at the bar
Saturn returned many moons ago
But you weren't looking to the stars
You come around here with your sad, sad eyes
I know where this is going, it won’t be a surprise
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
Turn down the lights
Drink enough until we see each other right
This place won’t bite but it won't save you either
We're going down tonight
I'm staring down your sad, sad eyes
I know where this is going, it won't be a surprise
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
Bad boys become sad boys
It's only cute when you’re young
Your wild phase was a short game
Good days are gone
Gone
We’re going down tonight
We're going down tonight
I’ve got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain
