Blues Traveler - Sweet Pain Lyrics

If Cyrano De Bergerac fell prey to the blades of fifty men

With a heart and a sword he'd drive them back

Perchance to see Roxanne's eyes light up the sky again

When Beauty kind and full of grace again denied the Beast her hand

The Beast he turned and hid his face

And tried with all his might and magic to understand

And once upon a time you know I used to wonder why

You know no one should need to cry

In pain of a heart forbade to fly but you learn to say goodbye

As you whisper beneath a sigh

Sweet pain can't you plainly see?

Sweet pain you know it matters to me

Sweet pain won't you make me feel at home?

Sweet pain don't you dare leave me alone

Sometimes a life that seems hard to take

Is soothed for a while by an old friend

Leaving a bad need in its wake

Sad how some friendships never ever seem to end never end

Well all of my heroes up and died

Songs and a dream are left for me

What did them in not suicide

Just a lengthy friendship and a dream of how it could be

And isn't it a crime? Was it more than they could bear?

You know they did not even care

And they might have something there but I'm here and I don't see where

All I hear is their silent prayer

Sweet pain is it so terribly wrong?

Sweet pain to want to come along

Sweet pain won't you make me smile?

Sweet pain if only for a while

Can you feel what I can feel?

So we can establish that the pain is real

Don't be afraid and I'll do the same for you

And we'll just hang on and we'll make it make it through

There's got to be a reason it works out this way

And there's something deep inside me

That makes me have to play for you for you

In no position to give advice

My heart it spoke and I wrote it down

You know every wisdom has its price

My head up in the stars and my feet planted firmly on the ground

When will I embrace this life I see

I've been wondering for so long

Thinkin' back the truth may be

I've been unaware but I've been livin' it all along

And it didn't cost a dime no it did not come for free

It just would not let me be but it never conquered me

Just a doorway and a key and I think that we both agree

Sweet pain is sometimes what you need

Sweet pain it allows the blood to bleed

Sweet pain from the moment of your birth

Sweet pain you know it keeps you here on Earth
