[Verse 1]
It took a while, to get right here
To say goodbye to the boy in the mirror
You woke up sick, in a cold motel
No handful of vitamins make him well
[Interlude]
How can I be sure
Is the pain, better than the cure?
[Verse 2]
He always played, he never slept
Friends pretend he had [? 0:44] everywhere we went
Faced each other with [? 0:48] hearts
And the colour I imagined in the universe was ours
[Interlude]
Ooh, how can I be sure
[Chorus 1]
And I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, better than the cure?
[Verse 3]
I used to dream, in neon light
Of back-alley bars at the bottom of the night
But I woke up, your someone else
To love like this you gotta lose yourself
[Interlude]
Ooh, how can I be sure
[Chorus 1]
And I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, better than the cure?
[Bridge]
We are born with [? 2:30] and desire
Our time has brought a sentimental flash
I need to [?] something [?] nothing
Are you there, are you there, are you there
[Chorus 2]
Cause I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, is the pain, is the pain better than the cure?
Is the pain, is the pain, is the pain better than the cure?
