If Pain Persists - The Good China

If Pain Persists Lyrics

With a little imagination I pretend
Your shiny new pearl necklace was a gift from me
Oh, the thought of all this glorious gift givin' is enough
to make me give when there's nobody to receive
Such a waste to piss away what should be
draped around your neck
But when realities too much to take,
Self deception is a vital skill to perfectBelieve I know that I ain't got no chance
Of this turning into romance
But if I suspend my disbelief
Maybe then Ill find a little relief
Maybe then Ill finally get reliefWith a little imagination I pretend
The pleasure you're expressing was caused by me
Glad to oblige... I love to see you happy.
The brutal reality is as far as youre concerned, I don't even exist
But taking refuge in my fantasies Is a little too hard, baby, to resistBelieve I know that I ain't got no chance
of this turning into romance
But if I suspend my disbelief

Maybe then Ill find a little relief
Maybe then Ill finally get reliefYoull never know just how much I care
While you're blissfully unaware,
Its an unrequited love that I wish we could divey up and share
Youll never know just how much I care
While you're blissfully unaware,
This unused excess of passion ferments into pain and despairYoull never know just how much I care
