Pain

Lyrics: Justin Holben/Matthias Bakker Music: Justin Holben/Matthias Bakker There was this girl I used to know She used to wear smiles, she was hurting in her soul I met her on a Sunday at the church we used to go She told me that her mother died at thirty years old And left her on her own Her dad was never home I know that pain is something that I'll probably never know I just wonder how you deal with it and never let it show, I mean Losing a loved one and never letting go But I know that all will meet again if heaven’s where we go I just wanna be remembered when I'm buried in a hole I just wanna leave my family with a legacy to own I got regrets that I really can't for forget with Patrón And money that I really can't spend on my own, Got no time for myself and I need to left alone They send me on tour, I miss my bed at home My grandmother called, asked me why I never phone It brought tears to my eyes ‘cause I know she getting old Years went by, then more tears rolled from eyes when she died, God rest her soul And my grandfather’s too, heaven knows how much I miss you both

What if the devil is alive What if there’s really a heaven in the sky What if life was better when we died What if Jehovah’s Witness never really testified All I know is that the truth ain’t really ever been exposed Our society been teaching little girls to be hoes That’s why she’s thirteen but she look a lot older Makeup on her face, dressing like a grown-up Tears in her father’s eyes ‘cause he can’t control her He know that she doing bad things with some bad guys Now she nineteen and she pregnant with her second child That’s the type of pain that make a grown man cry Just the other day I was walking by on the sidewalk and I passed this homeless guy With a sign saying he ain’t got no food and no job, and I felt bad for him ‘Cause I could see that he was embarrassed to ask me if I had a spare five rand for him But that’s just a chapter in a poor man’s life story But me I’d rather die before I give up, and if it’s worth having then I fight for it My cousin got addicted to meth, the pipe took him And now he’s just a victim of addiction Don’t even look the same no more See no resemblance in his face no more I guess the drug abuse has taken its toll
