Lyrics
Pain called my name and I ignored her voice
Cause when pain calls, sometimes you have a choice
I shut her out, thought that was how to be fine
But life is rarely lived inside the lines
I thought if I was perfect on the outside I was fine
Never got angry, always calm at the wrong times
I didn’t realize I was stuffing it inside
Life is rarely lived, is rarely lived inside the lines
Pain called my name, I started listening to her voice
Cause when pain calls, sometimes you have a choice
I started feeling all the things I hadn’t felt
I saw how much was stuck within myself
And when I looked within I was so quickly overwhelmed
So many emotions I did not know that I held
Anger, fear, frustration, loss, and sorrow beneath a shell
I saw how much, how much was stuck within myself
Pain called my name, and I adopted her voice
Cause when pain calls, sometimes you have a choice
I took her up as my personal cross
I chose to only see what I had lost
Consumed by the weight of everything my life had cost
I wanted everyone to know what I had lost
Oh, it didn’t matter if my life had some good or not
I chose to only see what, what I had lost
Whoa, and a million voices call me to come home, home
Singin’ you know the way, the ground beneath your toes
Hear the voice inside, the one you can’t let go
Don’t turn back, don’t turn back, you got this
Pain called my name, I called back in my own voice
“Hello, old friend, I’d like to have a choice.
Can’t live without you, but I can’t keep you close
I’ll let you in and then I’ll let you go.”
Pain called my name, I called back in my own voice
“Hello, old friend, I’d like to make a choice.
Can’t live without you, but I can’t keep you close
I’ll let you in and then I’ll let you go.”
