Better Than The Cure

[Verse 1]
It took a while, to get right here
To say goodbye to the boy in the mirror
He woke up sick, in a cold motel
No handful of vitamins make him well

[Interlude]
How can I be sure
Is the pain, better than the cure?

[Verse 2]
We always played, he never slept
Pressed a penny flat everywhere we went
Faced each other with Napoleon hearts
Every colour I imagined in the universe was ours

[Interlude]
Ooh, how can I be sure

[Chorus 1]
And I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, better than the cure?

[Verse 3]
I used to dream, in neon light
Of back-alley bars at the bottom of the night
But I woke up as someone else
To love like this you gotta lose yourself

[Interlude]
Ooh, how can I be sure

[Chorus 1]
And I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, better than the cure?

[Bridge]
We are born with purpose and desire
Our time is but a sentimental flash
I need to feel something or it all amounts to nothing
Are you there, are you there, are you there?

[Chorus 2]
Cause I'm calling you from wherever the hell I am
And I'm freaking out cause I'm ready to give in
Is the pain, better than the cure?
Is the pain, is the pain, is the pain better than the cure?
Is the pain, is the pain, is the pain better than the cure?
