The Pain You Desire, the Love You Deserve Songtext
von Tapestry

You′d trade yourself for someone else if you could
The thought of being yourself harbours bad health
It's your deepest wound
Dying safely in your room
Dreaming of a brighter place
The darkness inside of your tomb

You seem not to laugh so much these days
I guess the only way to see that change
Was to pick up a bottle
And drink to the bottom
Until you′re just an empty space

Could you try to force a smile
Sip a little confidence
Make yourself irrelevant
Just erasing time (erasing time)
Because it's all too much
It never stops


Are you afraid to die?
Lying alone inside this soberness you woe
Have you cried so many times?
You pray you never make it home
Beause you are alone

You cry so much these days
Get your head out of that nonsense
Give yourself a little time to heal
Before you cave
Because it's all too much
It never stops

Sold on descending
As far as you can
You′ve laid awake contemplating where you could end

Are you afraid to die?
Lying alone inside this soberness you woe
Have you cried so many times?
You pray you never make it home
Because you are alone

But there′s something that's left inside
That just won′t seem to come out
Unless you're drunk or high
Fleeting the solace of what you desire
Of what you deserve


Drained of joy your childhood held
Your demons were the only thing to catch you, when you fell
It takes time to fix yourself
But time has only brought you closer to hell

Is your happiness confined to your escape?
Do you feel like you deserve your pain?
Could you grow to love and feel again?
After growing in the emptiness
