This Pain That Resides Within Me

This Pain That Resides Within Me

I wish you could feel how this pain does feel

Then maybe you would not inflict it at your will

Onto me it buries itself deep into my soul

As each day it grows and grows

This pain that resides within me

I can never break myself free

It is to strong for my friends to pull away

Although they try their best every single day

This pain within me is so strong that I know

Heaven can’t pull it up from the devil down below

So I must learn to live with this pain that resides within me

I must learn how to ignore it and just let it be

As it grows more and more the more you stay

Through my soul and heart it makes its merry way

Until the day that it envelops all that I am

Then the day will come there’ll be a break in the dam

Then maybe it will all finally break free

This pain

That resides

Within me
