AFTER PAIN


If I, one day, had vanished from your view
If one day, I went and left you
I overheard what you said, filling me with dread:
You said I wasn't needed
My point is that I'm nothing special now
I pulled the short stick from the crowd
I overheard what you said, filling me with dread:
You said I wasn't wanted

So why won't you stop hurting, hurting, hurting,
Hurting me and everything that I am?
The blood has dried, my heart's shattered, and...
These sorry spells that I had cast
They must have worn off at last

And in the end, I guess that some of this is my fault
And there's nothing I can do now
Maybe it's fine, I should take my bow
I want to feel alive once again
With permission, I'll breathe, and then

I'm whispering

I could say I'm sorry, but would anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I could say I'm sorry, but would anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I could say I'm sorry, but would anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I could say I'm sorry, but would anyone hear?

I don't want to be hurt tomorrow too
To yesterday, I'll say adieu
Every day, all the same, misery comes my way
I'm asking, can I be saved?

Can you tell me why you make me the villain
Each and every time that I drift by?
Can't you ignore me? Please, tell me why
I'll endure what you say of me
'Cause I'm used to the agony

And in my dreams, I see the things that I repressed
Oh so long ago, hidden away
Am I done for? Is this my last day?
Except there's no a thing to hide, see?
Forget what I had told you, please

Ah, on that day

Let's meet in the pain and the misery, please
In a home carved out just for me
My heart dressed like a corpse's by you
With untold secrets entombed
The voices, the little demons near me stab
And giving up is all that I have
As I realize I love you

Let's meet in the pain and the misery, please
In a home carved out just for me
My heart dressed like a corpse's by you
With untold secrets entombed
The voices, the little demons near me stab
And giving up is all that I have
As I realize I love you

So why won't you stop hurting, hurting, hurting,
Hurting me and everything that I am?
The blood has dried, my heart's shattered, and...
These sorry spells that I had cast
They must have worn off at last

And in the end, I guess that some of this is my fault
And there's nothing I can do now
Maybe it's fine, I should take my bow
I want to feel alive once again
With permission, I'll breathe, and then

Won't you tell me?

I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?

I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but did anyone hear?
(I hope that one day, you hear me)
I said I was sorry, but nobody would hear

If I, one day, had vanished from your view
If one day, I went and left you
I overheard what you said, filling me with dread:
You said I wasn't wanted
