Your Pain Songtext
von Tracy Jane Comer

Time it moves in only one direction
But in defiance we can turn and face the rear
And watch the things we love and hate and fear
Grow fainter, shrinking silhouettes on the horizon
And late I clutch at fading recollections
And try to cast them into some new form
Measuring against some unreal norm
Silently I drown in the abyss of this obsession

Then truth screams out from these memories
The story wasn′t only about me
But I could not see your pain
The mirror blocked my view


And anger and frustration
Dug the chasm that divided me and you
And I blamed the bottle
And I blamed the pills
But I never did consider
That the need for them arose
From wounds that wouldn't heal

To what degree could you have fought the forces
That pushed and mold and pried into your mind
And led you onto paths no one should find
To stumble, accumulating sorrows and remorses
And just what was the greater tragedy
Death or life alone in misery

But I could not see your pain
The mirror blocked my view
And anger and frustration
Dug the chasm that divided me and you
And I blamed the bottle
And I blamed the pills
But I never did consider
That the need for them arose
From wounds that wouldn′t heal
