Lyrics
TAKE THE PAIN!!!
Verse 1
I don’t scream anymore — it’s pointless.
My tears learned to fall in silence.
The mirror won’t look at me,
it’s tired of watching the same mistakes.
The morning feels like punishment,
another round of breathing I didn’t ask for.
Coffee burns my throat,
but it’s the only warmth I know.
Verse 2
I keep rearranging my thoughts
like broken glass on the floor —
trying to make them less sharp,
but they still cut.
Everyone says, “you’re doing fine,”
and I smile because it’s easier than truth.
Inside, it’s winter all year,
and I’m barefoot in the snow.
Chorus
Take the pain, if you can hold it —
it’s heavier than it looks.
I can’t carry it much longer,
my hands are bleeding from the weight.
Don’t tell me I’ll be okay,
I just want to rest without guilt.
Take the pain…
take it before I disappear inside it.
Verse 3
There’s a voice that whispers softly,
“You’d be free if you just stop.”
But freedom sounds like forgetting,
and I’m afraid to not exist.
So I stay — half alive,
half gone,
waiting for a reason
that doesn’t come.
Bridge
I write my fears on paper
and watch the ink drown in black.
Maybe that’s what I am —
a sentence that never ends,
a story nobody finishes.
Final Chorus
Take the pain — I’m begging now.
Don’t give me hope,
just give me quiet.
I don’t want to shine,
I just want to stop shaking.
If there’s a God,
tell Him I’m trying.
Tell Him I stayed…
but He needs to take the pain.
