lyrics

Take away the pain

Johnny was just 18 when his car hit the tree
they said he was drunk and much too fast
luckily he was thrown out 'cause the car burned at once
his girlfriend had no chance, she died that day

now look at poor Johnny, he's shattered and confused
trying to kill the memories in his head
but every now and then the pictures come back
sometimes he thinks he'd be better off dead

take away the pain
save me from going insane

sometimes poor Johnny frightens up at night
the pangs of conscience steel his sleep
the more he tries to push away the more he has to realize
you cannot wipe out memories

Johnny was just 18 and now he's 29
he considered this step for so long
they say time is a healer you just have to carry on
but the pain was just too strong
