Pain Became My Friend Today ©

 

Pain became my friend today

She showed me how to hide

She’d been watching from a distance

Every tear I cried

 

Pain became my friend today

She reached out her hand to me

Then pulled me into darkness

Introducing misery

 

Pain became my friend today

She's emptying my heart

She'll stay as my constant companion

Tearing me apart

 

Pain became my friend today

She isolates my soul

Now without her I am nothing

In her I'm consoled

 

Pain became my friend today

Saw me kneel down and cry

Then she lay down right next to me

Kissed my joy good-bye

 

Pain became my friend today

Acquainted me with sorrow

Who showed me how to dwell in agony

And fear the break of tomorrow

 

Pain became my friend today

She's making my heart cold

Pain became my friend today

The only hand I hold
