Pain is my Friend

[Verse 1]

Woke up in the night, shadows on the wall,

The darkness wraps around me, I can hear the call,

Another scar, another fight, I stand up tall,

But every bruise and every wound, I've learned to love them all.

[Pre-Chorus]

No more hiding, no disguise,

Embrace the fire in my eyes,

I've been broken, I've been bent,

But every tear was heaven-sent.

[Chorus]

Pain is my friend, it never leaves my side,

Through the storm and through the fire, it’s where I confide,

Pain is my friend, it keeps me alive,

In the ashes of my soul, it’s where I rise, yeah, I rise.

[Verse 2]

Walking through the flames, with no fear of fall,

Every step I take, I’m stronger, standing tall,

The world’s a battlefield, I hear the battle call,

But every hit that knocks me down, I’ll rise above it all.

[Pre-Chorus]

No more running, no more lies,

Embrace the fury in my cries,

I've been shattered, I’ve been spent,

But every wound was time well spent.

[Chorus]

Pain is my friend, it never leaves my side,

Through the storm and through the fire, it’s where I confide,

Pain is my friend, it keeps me alive,

In the ashes of my soul, it’s where I rise, yeah, I rise.

[Bridge]

Every cut, every tear,

It’s the voice that I hear,

Whispering, “You’re still here,”

I’ll take the pain, no fear.

[Chorus]

Pain is my friend, it never leaves my side,

Through the storm and through the fire, it’s where I confide,

Pain is my friend, it keeps me alive,

In the ashes of my soul, it’s where I rise, yeah, I rise.

[Outro]

Pain is my friend, oh, it’s my guide,

Through the darkest nights, I feel it inside,

Pain is my friend, it’s where I reside,

In the heart of the struggle, it’s where I find my pride.
