Take Away My Pain lyrics
Songwriters: Labrie, Kevin James; Portnoy, Michael; Sherinian, Derek G.; Petrucci, John; Myung, John;

I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, "Look at poor Gene Kelly"
I guess he won t be singing in the rain
Just take away all my heroes
Will you take away my pain?

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don t let it rain
Don t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
Oh I m not frightened anymore
Just stay with me tonight
I m tired of this fight
Soon I ll be knockin at your door

She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, "What else can you do, babe?
I guess, I won t be coming home again
Just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don t let it rain
Don t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I m not frightened anymore
Just stay with me tonight
I m tired of this fight
Soon I ll be knockin at your door

His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls

I was standing by the edge of the wall
Noticed my reflection in the bricks
And I saw you lookin back again
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling up my name
Took away my heroes
Can you take away my pain?

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It s time to let it rain
There s nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
Oh I m not frightened anymore
I m learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knockin at my door
