Pain In Love

Pain In Love
by Mike Brady

I used to not care, but now I do
About all those people laughing with you
And when they're done, what will be left?
Nothing between us but this widening rift
I used to believe in fidelity
But now all those people are laughing at me
And my misery

The words are caught inside my mind
Between what's ahead and what's behind
My childish notions just weren't enough
Experience has taught me there's pain in love
Pain in love

The years have gone by, now I'm a man
I have my life, I have my plan
With eyes wide open, I clearly see
That love has brought me misery
Yet as I lie down next to my wife
I know love has also brought joy to my life
Joy to my life

The words are caught inside my mind
Between what's ahead and what's behind
My childish notions just weren't enough
Experience has taught me there's pain in love
Pain in love

The pain you brought into my life
Has helped me appreciate my wife
All the memories come from you
Add meaning when I tell her "I love you,
I love you"
