Toward The Pain

Joel Ansett


Happy for a love that felt right
No space between us
And no reason for goodbye
Took a while before the first fight
I'm a whole different man
If you don't take my side

And you know exactly what you heard
Till I go and redefine the words

No I won't break
Holding on tight to my pride you say
It doesn't seem right
That we both feel alone
But we're drifting away
And we wait for
Someone to move toward the pain

Closer now than ever before
The problem is now
We can hurt even more
Couldn't quite believe what you did
Cut me deep
And I want you to feel it

And I know exactly what you said
Oh but I'm pretending to forget

Still I won't break
Holding on tight to my pride you say
It doesn't seem right
That we both feel alone
But we're drifting away
And we wait for
Someone to move toward the pain

Someone's wrong, I'll shine the light
But roots don't grow from being right
I need your love but drink I won't
There's poison in the water

So I hope and pray
All of our pride fades
So we don't feel alone
When we're in the same place
And we wait for
Someone to move toward the pain
