|
You need to harness pain |
|
To raise yourself up again |
|
You need to harness pain |
|
And tell the truth about love |
|
You need to break your heart |
|
Before you can really start |
|
You need to break your heart |
|
And tell the truth about love |
|
Then you need to set a goal that you can't reach |
|
Then you have to attack defenses you can't breach |
|
Then you need to lose and lose and lose again |
|
If you want to hold the flame |
|
You harness pain |
|
You harness pain |
|
You need to take your doubts |
|
And spread them all about |
|
You need to face your doubts |
|
To tell the truth about love |
|
You know the cliche's wrong |
|
Hatred is just as strong |
|
You know it's just as strong |
|
Just as strong as love |
|
So you need to take your hate and doubt and fear |
|
Distill them through your word 'til they run clear ' |
|
Til they run right through your heart like |
|
Highland rain |
|
If you want to hold the flame |
|
You harness pain |
|
You harness pain |
|
Do you want to be the best or be well known? |
|
Do you want to repeat lines or write your own? |
|
Do you want to follow paths or blaze a trail? |
|
When you try to succeed, |
|
You mostly fail |
|
And you're gonna lose and lose and lose again |
|
If you want to hold the flame |
|
You harness pain |
|
You harness pain |
