Take Away My Pain
I awoke this morning, to a bed so cold and lonely
And despite the warning, I'd lost my one and only
All that now remains, is the shadow of what was
I’m left here in chains, with nothing but my flaws
The shadows lengthen, and grow dark by the hour
The loneliness they strengthen, trapped within its power
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
Everywhere I look, there are spectres of her form
All the things she took, both the light and the warm
I try to block her image out, from the recesses of my mind
But I’ll always hear her shout, like my head is on rewind
Leaving images of herself, to clutter up my brain
Like the photos on the shelf, that fill my soul with pain
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
I turn to share a moment, but she is no longer there
I’m feeling her absentment, and its fills me with despair
My life echoes to her chorus, to the sound of her fair voice
I’m stricken with her virus, I don’t really have a choice
She has move on from my life, out grown me at last
She is no longer my loving wife, that is all in the past
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
All those memories I possess, are poisoned with regret
My mind is a bloody mess, I just wish I could forget
If I were but a stronger man, I could move past this love
I was doomed when it began, that cruel bolt from above
Now I see the bitter end, and it’s closing in so fast
My heart I can never mend, so this will be my last
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
