[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?
