pain (promise me)

promise me you won't end up like them

promise me you'll be yourself

promise me you'll take things on the chin

like tyson showing off his health

promise me you'll be the-

be the man you wish they were

with patience to take you 'round the world

promise me you'll never raise your hand

promise me you'll always try to understand

i know it's hard to handle

i know it's hard to take

your love is hard to channel

it seems so far

but they seem to love

pain

pain

pain

oh

ohhh

promise me you'll talk and talk for days

know 'em like the back o' your hand

promise me you won't be bound by rage

like a lion defending it's land

promise me you'll own up

when you know deep down you're wrong

with the patience to try to make things right

promise me you'll never raise your hand

promise me you'll always try to understand

i know it's hard to handle

i know it's hard to take

your love is hard to channel

it seems so far

but they seem to love

pain

pain
