thank god for pain

crushed

smoked

twisted up

and burned like a cigarette

tossed away

in the rain with no regret

i've been dying on

the bad side of a goodbye

one fall away from the edge

when you kissed me back to life

thank god for pain

cause i never would've known

that love could feel this way

and i know it sounds insane

but thank god for scars

cause every jagged little one

got me closer to where we are

and if i hadn't been ripped apart

i never would've kissed your face

thank god for pain

i was left

i was lost

heartbroke

down

and out of luck

i was used

all confused

i was covered up and black and blue

if i'd never known that hurt

or felt that misery

i'd have never known baby

how much you mean to me

thank god for pain

cause i never would've known

that love could feel this way

and i know it sounds insane

but thank god for scars

cause every jagged little one

got me closer to where we are

and if i hadn't been ripped apart

i never would've kissed your face

thank god for pain
