pain always hurts but it's ok
it seems to be a part of the game
so why am I still dreaming and hoping
guess I believe in no gain without pain
change always hurts but it's ok
yes it seems to be a part of the game
so why do I keep dreaming and hoping
guess I believe without pain ain't no gain
still a boy when we met
still too busy being right never wrong
so sure that my own reflections
where the ones to proof the truth all along
now I had to break through the wall
breaking my heart, tear it apart
nothing's free but the fall
I gave it all to follow the call
change always hurts but it's ok
yes it seems to be a part of the game
so why do I keep dreaming and hoping
guess I believe without pain ain't no gain
I don't understand it is such a mess
how come I feel this emptiness
doesn't empty mean there's nothing there
but nothing in a room is still full of air
if nothing is how can it be
that nothing still seems to bother me
so if nothing's not and nothing ever was
then nothing could have never ever been the cause
so nothing's wrong and nothing's right
left in the middle of an endless fight
we shoulda known better I truly believe
when nothing else matters
we won't be deceived
pain always hurts but it's ok
it seems to be a part of the game
so why am I still dreaming and hoping
guess I believe in no gain without pain
change always hurts but it's ok
yes it seems to be a part of the game
so why do I keep dreaming and hoping
guess I believe without pain ain't no gain
hurts but it's ok
