Let the Pain Remain

Inspired by a song from my fave singer Lea Salonga...

I wish you didnt put me on the back to burn

Every time you return

I still hurt

I feel the love dying

i am only a human girl

There is no true angel here

i am not just a lunch break dream dear

I am done trying

No more tears I am crying

I guess its what everyone tried to tell me

we just aren't meant to be

i thought we were something strong, eternal

now the pain that I feel

is the only thing that reminds me we were real

so let the pain remain

so our love wont fade

if this is the only way

how sad

but out of my hand

the music that plays

I listen to Lea tonight

and it uplifts my broken mind

but earlier from the Greek fest there is this memory

taking me for a ride

shining new daylight

The children free from all the pain that holds me

shaking their belly chains to the beautiful romantic guitar melodies

their symbol of freedom replaces these bittersweet memories

I want to be like them. I want to be free from the pain like all children

i wish you didn't put me on the back to burn

he did it every time he returned

it must have been fun

to watch me burn up in your sun

oh why my love

Before I was young

but the lonely feeling is too strong

why does love always go so wrong

so let the pain remain

as I watch this dying flame

if this is the only way for love to stay

let the pain remain
