"On Pain" lyrics

"On Pain"

I can't be trusted with your money
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me
I can't be trusted with your secrets
Look what I did
Every time that you gave them to me

Oh you can trust me with your sorrow
And you can trust me with your pain
And I will bury them deep down
We'll never speak of them again
We'll never speak of them again

I can't be trusted with your loving
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me

We sing on pain and the untrained heart
The cherub in flight and the poison dart
Position our players with headlights on highlights
In back rooms with low-lifes as angels are pole dancing
Of course the table is rigged for the house
But we play anyway, anyhow, anywhere
We're all in to win, but the beauty's in losing
Another knight falls in the Love Coliseum

And oh, you can trust me with your sorrow
And oh, you can trust me with your pain
And we will bury them deep down
We'll never speak of them again
We'll never speak of them again

I can't be trusted with your money
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me

Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me
