STOP THE PAIN

Stop the pain

STOP THE PAIN

I have fought with demons

I even swallowed my pride

Walked holding hands with Jesus

I have layed down and cried

But I still can’t stop the pain

Traveled around for many years

Not knowing where I’m going

Can’t stop that old feeling

And the hunger just keeps growing

But I still can’t stop the pain

Had a few lovely ladies

They still can make me smile

Don’t really know what happened

I guess I wasn’t their style

And I still can’t stop the pain

I guess years of trying to run

With no one by my side

Has left me weak and tired

Just want some place to hide

And I still can’t stop the pain
