This Pain

I drank the poison
You took the pills
It didn't get us anywhere
We called the help line to confess our crimes
There wasn't anybody there

Like a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gough
Like a traveler in the rain
Like a mother finally letting go
We all learn to live with pain

I know why you hurt me
I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The more I can feel you
It's strange, so strange, this pain
This pain that I love

The fortune tellers they forge the future
They never give you the bad news

So I went undercover
I saw your lover
But I'm still here with you

Like a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gough
Like a traveler in the rain
Like a mother finally letting go
We all learn to live with pain

I know why you hurt me
I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The more I can feel you
It's strange, so strange, this pain
This pain that I love, that I love

I know why I let you
The more you hurt me
The more I can feel you
It's strange, so strange, this pain
This pain that I love, that I love
