Possession of Pain

[Verse 1]
The last words you said to me
"Happy birthday"
Last night I couldn't sleep
And I couldn't put a finger on it
My sheep had wandered off and
I was staring at my feet
While you were walking through the darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it your hurt that hits the hardest
Or is it my hurt that I keep guarded
Or is it all the same?

[Chorus]
Oh the possession of pain
A delicate thing
Words we don't say and
Hearts on a string
Hold it so close and we push it away
Who gets to claim it, save it
Make it all ok?
Anyway

[Verse 2]
Last call at 3AM
Another Thursday
Filled with casualties of friends
All the while never knowing
Where anybody's going
I wonder if you knew
Did you feel it
Could you see it coming

[Pre-Chorus]
Your hurt that hits the hardest
Or is it my hurt that I keep guarded
Or is it all the same?

[Chorus]
Oh the possession of pain
A delicate thing
Words we don't say and
Hearts on a string
Hold it so close and we push it away
Who gets to claim it, save it
Make it all ok?

[Bridge]
Anyway, birds fly away
Maybe all we can do is hold onto each other

[Chorus]
In the possession of pain
A delicate thing
Words we don't say and
Hearts on a string
Hold it so close and we push it away
Who gets to claim it, save it
Make it all ok?

A delicate thing
Words we don't say and
Hearts on a string
Hold it so close and we push it away
Who gets to claim it, save it
Make it all ok?
Anyway, birds fly away
