This Pain Will Be Useful

(álbum: Running In Borrowed Shoes - 2019)

Someday I know that this pain will be useful
So much can grow from the seed of a dying tree
It creeps up on me at inopportune moments
Hot like a song in my lungs

Oh I'm gonna make this life good
Even though, even though you thought I would never
Amount to anything of value
Watch me as I prove you wrong
By falling, falling in love with everyone and everything I touch
And who knew I could feel this much

Someday I know that this pain will be useful
And it won't look for comfort in a drink or a stranger's bed
No more nights to undo, only nights to remember
Little bursts of happiness instead

Oh I'm gonna make this life good
Even though, even though I thought I would never
Amount to anything of value
Watch me as I prove me wrong
By falling, falling in love with everyone and everything I touch
And who knew I could feel this much
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-ohh

Well it's only a guess but I bet that each beautiful house has a story that moves
Was it made by a man with a knot in his chest and unspoken truth?
And the songs that we sing in our cars in the parking lots with our hands up high
Are just battle cries through puffy eyes that found a place to be alive

Someday I know that this pain will be useful
So much can grow from the seed of a dying tree
Leaps out of me at inopportune moments
Too beautiful and delicate to touch
And who knew I could feel this much
