And I feel your pain
Well everybody knows a little loneliness sometimes
'Cause we're all the same
We all have sorrow
We all have shame
Everybody feels a bit of emptiness sometimes
Now what you gonna do about that
There's a way to keep going
Step by step
Try to fix what's been broken
Brick by brick
While your life will keep coming
Year after year
Drain the pain
Tear by tear
Drain away the pain
Tear by tear
Take a look around you
Every face that you see
Well everybody gets a little paralyzed sometimes
The epidemic of our insanity
[Chorus:]
And the mother she waits
'Cause her teenager's late
Till the knock on the door
He says ma'am I am so sorry
And soldiers come home
One leg less than they'd gone with
We all walk around like there's just nothing wrong with it
The doctor he cries 'cause his last patient died
Did I mention before he was a father of five
And the waitress is home
Well she can't pay her loan
She's lost everything - everything
Has no where to go
And the fat kid at school couldn't take anymore
All the taunts and the names and the ugliest words
No one even stopped to notice
Went on with their day
Till he pulled out a gun and blew himself away
There's a way to keep going
Step by step
Try to fix what's been broken
Brick by brick
You can drain all the pain
Tear by tear
Tear by tear
We all know sadness And I feel your pain Well everybody knows a little loneliness sometimes 'Cause we're all the same We all have sorrow We all have shame Everybody feels a bit of emptiness sometimes Now what you gonna do about that There's a way to keep going Step by step Try to fix what's been broken Brick by brick While your life will keep coming Year after year Drain the pain Tear by tear Drain away the pain Tear by tear Take a look around you Every face that you see Well everybody gets a little paralyzed sometimes The epidemic of our insanity [Chorus:] And the mother she waits 'Cause her teenager's late Till the knock on the door He says ma'am I am so sorry And soldiers come home One leg less than they'd gone with We all walk around like there's just nothing wrong with it The doctor he cries 'cause his last patient died Did I mention before he was a father of five And the waitress is home Well she can't pay her loan She's lost everything - everything Has no where to go And the fat kid at school couldn't take anymore All the taunts and the names and the ugliest words No one even stopped to notice Went on with their day Till he pulled out a gun and blew himself away There's a way to keep going Step by step Try to fix what's been broken Brick by brick You can drain all the pain Tear by tear Tear by tear Explain Request ×
