No Pain

No Pain 
 
 
Things Used to Be Important 
But Somehow That's Slipped Away 
Nothing Seems to Matter Now 
As I Go from Day to Day 
 
The Smile I Used to Have 
That Came from Deep Within 
Is Not There Anymore 
Somehow I've Reached the End 
 
The End of What I Wonder 
The Answer I Just Don't Know 
But If I Could Kill Emotion 
This Pain Would Never Show 
 
I Could Do All the Right Things 
And Not Feel Selfish and Small 
I'd Never Feel Pain Again 
Then Once More I'd Walk Tall 
 
I've Hurt Too Many People 
With Selfishness and Greed 
Who Do I Think I Am.. 
To Be Happy...Oh, Take Heed! 
 
 Happiness Is a State of Mind 
Too Elusive Is My Conclusion 
I Tried Too Hard to Find it 
I Only Found Heartbreak and Confusion
