What Do I Know About Pain?
Lyrics
I'd burn for you, I'd burn for you
You're like a lost freight train
A 747 with no pilot at the reins
Stay with me and you can keep your fame
Jam it up a gear as I got to get away
What do I know? I'm six-foot-none
You've got your silver bullets, raise your god-damn gun
Girl, I can see your pain
Standing on the corner trying to shelter from the rain
Looking like you're interested so that the people think you're sane
I think I know your name, shit we think the same
This is not a game I play discreetly
Even though if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else could get to you
You're like a drunk Mark Twain
Spitting out your venom with no fire in the flames
Stay with me, what do I know about pain?
Did you stop to think this might be driving me insane?
Looking like you're innocent so that the people think you're playing
Get the early train, shit we think the same
This is not a game, this is not a game
This is not a game I play discreetly
Even though if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else can get to you
We can hear the rain come down secretly
Your looks got me kind of weak in the knees
I'd burn for you, I'd burn for you
And you can keep your change
I wouldn't spend it anyway
I wouldn't know where to start
Girl, I can see your pain
Girl, I can see your pain
Think I know your name, shit we think the same
This is not a game I play discreetly
Even if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else can get to you
We can hear the rain come down secretly
Your looks got me kind of weak in the knees
I'd burn for you, I'd burn for you
I'd burn for you, I'd burn for you
