Toward the Pain - Joel Ansett

Happy for a love that felt right

No space between us

And no reason for goodbye

Took a while before the first fight

I’m a whole different man

If you don’t take my side

And you know exactly what you heard

Till I go and redefine the words

No I won’t break

Holding on tight to my pride you say

It doesn’t seem right

That we both feel alone

But we’re drifting away

And we wait for

Someone to move toward the pain

Closer now than ever before

The problem is now

We can hurt even more

Couldn’t quite believe what you did

Cut me deep

And I want you to feel it

And I know exactly what you said

Oh but I’m pretending to forget

Still I won’t break

Holding on tight to my pride you say

It doesn’t seem right

That we both feel alone

But we’re drifting away

And we wait for

Someone to move toward the pain

Someone’s wrong, I’ll shine the light

But roots don’t grow from being right

I need your love but drink I won’t

There’s poison in the water

So I hope and pray

All of our pride fades

So we don’t feel alone

When we’re in the same place

And we wait for

Someone to move toward the pain
