Erase The Pain

Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls

Time, where have you left me?

Here - without a heart

Without an answer

I tried to open my eyes

I tried to see the song

All things considered

This much remains the same

Hit that wall again

The same old barrier

Time after time I've tried to glimpse the other side

Oh, and time surely made me see

I was taking your love so carelessly

Now we know

Though it doesn't do much good anymore



I still feel the old, familiar pain

It could be that love is blind

I was blind to all your reasoning

But, at the start, you were blind to me

Now, I guess you could say we're even

But isn't that what we always wanted to be?

Putting our souls on the line to win this game

I'm feeling the strain

Now, I'll always love you

Through all this distance

All these barriers

Trying to erase the pain

Erase the pain

Erase the pain

Erase The Pain
