"I started writing this song after Matthew Perry’s death.”

lyrics

INTRO:
(L. Maragarita):
“Debemos de abarcar nuestro dolor y así usarlo para darnos fuerzas en nuestra jornada.
— Kenji Miyazawa”

VERSE 1:
Shot, Bang, now he’s dead
I still see him in my head
I can hear all of his jokes still
Playing on the TV set

REFRAIN 1:
“Pain, pain go away”
That’s what he had said today
As he slipped away

VERSE 2:
Go, run, further, fast
I can feel you in my chest
Beating like a drum
Burning light, you’re like a cigarette

REFRAIN 2:
Pain, pain go away
But if you need somewhere to stay
Then I guess you can stay

VERSE 3:
Oh It’s s a problem, it’s a burden
It’s a fucking shame
Cos I don’t even recollect
You asking for my name
Well, do you want it now or do we
Go our separate ways? (Yeah)

VERSE 4:
Yeah, sometimes I think about my ex—
Where are you, James?
Sometimes I wish that I could pause
And we could get away and
Escape into another life where
You and I are still a thing

HOOK: (x2)
(Why do the people) fall for pain
When what they want is love?
All they want is love

VERSE 5:
Pain, go away
I can’t deal with you today
But maybe if you can come back tomorrow, I’ll have a different story

VERSE 6:
But this is not the past,
And I’m looking towards the future
Any time I hear your name
All I can think of is the danger

VERSE 7:
Pain, name someone
Whose life you’ve taken just for fun
I know it isn’t clear, my dear, but it’s
Probably more than just one

REFRAIN 3:
Yes, Love is a sacred art and
Pain is something we regard
Then turn into something hard

OUTRO:
(Pennsatucky):
“Do you know the difference between
Pain and suffering?
Becos pain is something that…
Pain is always there, becos life is
Freakin painful, okay?
But suffering is a choice…”
