My Pain

What have I to gain
From all my pain
Wasted years that have flown by
The regrets I hold in which make me sigh
The rationalization of possibly being a little to late
Knowing it was you who has always
Been my soul mate

What have I to gain
From all my pain
The wonderful memories that I hold dear
The thinking you would always be here
Moments pass time moves on
And it's for the past we long

What have I to gain
From all my pain
You
Oh how I wish all the time that were true
Yet I close my eyes at night
Then wake every morning
Still feeling so exhaustedly blue
I try always not to cry for you
But I do
My life will go on
I will push through
Even if I have to be without you
That's what I have to gain
From all my damn pain
