Lyrics

The Pain Gets Worse

Tell me it's a dream

The pain gets worse

Tell me you have seen

The pain gets worse

There we can't regain

It really hurts

Don't make me shout out

The pain gets worse

Tell me we were wrong

The pain gets worse

Tell me you have longed

The pain gets worse

To be here with me

It really hurts

Tell me you have seen

The pain gets worse

The pain gets worse

The pain gets worse

It really hurts

The pain gets worse

Tell me once again

The pain gets worse

That you wanna be friends

The pain gets worse

That you swallow your pride

It really hurts

That you'll stay by my side

The pain gets worse

The pain gets worse

The pain gets worse

It really hurts

The pain gets worse

Tell me it's a dream

Tell me you have seen

There we can't regain

Don't make me shout out
