In It For The Pain

Well I know what you're thinking

You never could quite hide your fears

And I don't hang around enough

To be the one that lasts throughout the years

You know I had the best intentions

And I know you had the same

But I don't wanna close this chapter of my life

Without someone to blame

So I blame it all on you

And how you live your life

And I know all the words to say

To break you down and cut you like a knife

And there I go

Like I always do I pack my bags and get on that road

And leave you there to cry

I never even say goodbye

Walked out that door

Well you wanted a change

But there was no one left to blame

So you just stay the same

It's like I'm in it for the pain

I never even call your name, like I did before

Now I'm in this old hotel room

And I think about your smile

Staring at your number on my phone

Scared to death to touch the dial

I throw the phone back on the table

And I go on with my day

And I put you in the backside of my mind

And I guess that's where you will stay

And there I go

Like I always do I pack my bags and get on that road

And leave you there to cry

I never even say goodbye

Walked out that door

Well you wanted a change

But there was no one left to blame

So you just stay the same

It's like I'm in it for the pain

I never even call your name, like I did before

Well I know what you're thinking

You never could quite hide your fears

And I don't hang around enough

To be the one that lasts for all the years
