the pain never stops

the pain never stops

I sit here talking to you wondering
Will your pain ever stop? I listen to
Your cries, your pain, the feeling of hopelessness and I wonder
Will the pain ever stop?

I hear your cries, I help as best I can, but in the end,
You want me to leave and I wonder
Will the pain ever stop?

You then ask how my day went, and I say %u201Cjust fine%u201D
But we both know I%u2019m lying and the pain begins anew
will the pain ever stop?

You reluctantly agree to get off the phone, to live another day,
And I am thankful, but the pain never stops
I decide to go for a walk, arrive at the subway and wonder
Will the pain ever stop?

I go down the steps to the train, I wait until one comes
And jump
Then I realise to myself that the pain never stops, it just continuously flows
From one person to another

The train is coming as I stand on the tracks,
I see your horrified face as you see what I%u2019m doing
You offer me a hand and say %u201Ccome on lets go home%u201D but I smile and simply say
%u201CThe pain never stops%u201D

The train is coming closer, and you beg me to get off the tracks,
But I smile and say the pain never stops
Then the train approaches, hits me and I laugh
The pain finally stops...for me, anyway...
