Pain, she wrote, is a strange thing
In the letter that she sent
It gets to a place that you can't really find
She put her heart on the table
Took a plate and cutlery
And sigh as she'd been left behind
And sigh as she'd been left behind
A long time ago they'd sing the future to each other
Now it's hard to remember the lines
People would write out your life
The book's still on the shelf
But those were other times
Those were other times
She said I don't know where the pain comes from
But I feel it late at night
He said try to sleep with the light on
It'll make it easier to find darkness in your dreams
He said that she would manage and she believed every word
Maybe that was somewhat naïve
But now there's no way back
The time that's passed has passed
Just one direction home
Just one direction home
She said I don't know where the pain comes from
But I feel it late at night
He said try to sleep with the light on
It'll make it easier to find darkness in your dreams
And it's hard to live with a heart full of words
Got to cut some out to keep your mind at ease
And it's strange to cry when you don't know why
Listen to the devil to better understand the angels
She said I don't know where the pain comes from
But I feel it late at night
He said try to sleep with the light on
It'll make it easier to find darkness in your dreams
