verse 2:
She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces

I guess I won’t be coming home again.”
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

Take away my pain

Soon I’ll be knocking at your door

verse 3:
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for
A
moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain
chorus 3:
Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It’s time to let it rain
There’s nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I’m not frightened anymore
I’m learning to survive
Without you in my life
‘Til you come knocking at my door
