Stop the Pain
(c) 2001, Phillip Smith
Voices hoarse, eyes are red,
Feeling like our hearts have bled.
Emotions drained, minds stumble,
All our walls now crumble,
My pain is out, can you see?
I want you to be next to me.
I see you hurt, I run to you,
I want always to be with you,
So far away, it hurts so bad,
Can we go back to what we had?
Stop the pain;
Stop the fighting;
We don't need it;
We need each other.
I fight the days as they go by,
Always asking myself why.
I hurt so much I almost fall;
Time goes slowly at a crawl.
Wanting to be there with you,
To show you that my love is true.
My heart calls out in restless pain;
It always screams aloud your name.
I die each night that we're apart,
Morning born, you're in my heart.
Stop the pain;
Stop the sadness;
We don't need it;
We need each other.
[musical interlude]
I hear your voice, it beckons me,
It shows to me my destiny.
I walk to it, I have no fear,
I feel as though you're standing near.
I reach to you, I grasp your hand,
Together side by side we stand.
All my doubts have gone away,
Now I live to live the day.
All I want is inside you,
A love that grows, that feels so new.
It takes away all of my pain,
Refreshes me like springtime rain.
Stop the pain;
Stop the lonliness;
We don't need it;
We need each other.
[musical interlude]
I hold you close and don't let go,
Determined that my love I'll show.
To make you strong and help you heal,
To make you not afraid to feel.
To lift you up, to help you down,
To take you and spin you around.
To show you all that's inside me,
Open up so you can see
All the love I have I have inside,
The patience that you haven't tried,
The faith that I have placed in you,
Trust, and friendship, through and through.
So close to me, I want you now,
We'll get through all of this somehow.
Stop the pain;
Start our lives;
We can make it;
We have each other.
