PAIN, LOVE, AND BLISS
I KNEW FROM THE MOMENT I SAW YOU WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE
BUT STILL I COULDN'T ADMIT TO LOVE, CUZ IT JUST WASN'T ME
EVEN THOUGH I FOUND MYSELF THINKING ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT
I DENIED IT TO YOU, ALL MY TRUEST FEELINGS I HAD TO FIGHT
I'VE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN IN MY SHORT EXISTENCE
I COULD NEVER TRUST A GIRL THAT WAS SO PERSISTENT
I ADMIT, WHEN TIMES GET ROUGH I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO HOLD
LIVING IN THE GHETTO YOU'VE GOT TO BE NOTHING SHORT OF BOLD
BUT I SECLUDE MYSELF TO THE WORLD AND LIVE LIKE A RECLUSE
YOU WOULDN'T LAST A DAY IF YOU WALKED IN MY SHOES
I SHIELD MY HEART WITH A WALL AND BULLET-PROOF VEST
BUT I TOOK THEM OFF TO FEEL YOUR CHEEK ON MY CHEST
THE ONLY OTHER WOMEN I EVER TRUSTED WAS MY MOTHER
BUT I THINK WE CAN EMBRACE EACH OTHER'S STRUGGLE AND HEAL ONE ANOTHER
PAIN IS LOVE AND LOVE IS BLISS
IT'S HARD GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS
BUT WHEN I SEE A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
I KNOW I'M IN A BETTER PLACE
I KNEW YOU DIDN'T COME FROM A HAPPY HOME RIGHT FROM THE START
THAT YOUR PARENTS SPLIT JUST LIKE THE SEAMS TO YOUR BROKEN HEART
YOU NEED A SOLDIER WHO CAN CARRY YOU THROUGH THESE ROUGH TIMES
SO I'LL CUT MY CHEST OPEN TO SHIELD YOU FROM THIS AGONY AND MAKE YOU MINES
I NEVER KNEW WHAT COMMITMENT WAS UNTIL I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS
I WRAP THEM AROUND YOU AND PROTECT YOU FROM ANY HARM
SURPRISE YOU WITH A SINGLE ROSE AT WORK AND LET YOU KNOW YOU'RE SPECIAL
TREAT YOU TO A DAY AT THE SPA, GO GET YOUR PEDICURE AND FACIAL
IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TEXT BACK AND FORTH
OR TO DRY YOUR TEARS AND MAKE YOU FEEL ALL YOUR WORTH
THE SUN WILL ALWAYS RISE AND CLEAR THE DAY OF RAIN
ONLY THE REALEST OF PEOPLE CAN EVER TRULY FEEL MY PAIN
PAIN IS LOVE AND LOVE IS BLISS
IT'S HARD GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS
BUT WHEN I SEE A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
I KNOW I'M IN A BETTER PLACE
MY PAIN I CAN'T HELP BUT EMBRACE
THESE GHOULISH MEMORIES I CAN'T SEEM TO ERASE
OUR RELATIONSHIIP IS TRUST, BUT LOVE IS THE BASE
I BOUGHT YOU LINGERIE, I ASKED FOR LACE
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SEX, YOU KNOW THE CASE
WE'LL TAKE IT SLOW, AT WHAT WE CALL LIFE'S PACE
BECAUSE HUNNY, SEX ISN'T A RACE
IT'S NOT FUN WITH OUT A CHASE
WE'LL VANISH WITH OUT A TRACE
NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE
NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER FILL THIS SPACE
NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER HAVE YOUR FACE
PAIN IS LOVE AND LOVE IS BLISS
IT'S HARD GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS
BUT WHEN MY FINGERS GLIDE ON YOUR CHEEK
I KNOW I CAN LAST ANOTHER WEEK
BUT STILL I COULDN'T ADMIT TO LOVE, CUZ IT JUST WASN'T ME
