(VERSE)
I was born inside a
small town, I’ve lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the
Lord’s house, but stopped at the
age of nine
I forget when
I get
awards now the wave I had to ride
The paving stones I
played upon, they kept me on the
grind
So blame it
on the
pain that blessed me with the life
Friends and family filled with
envy when they should be filled with
pride
And when the
world’s
against me is when I really come alive
And everyday that Satan
tempts me, I try to take it in my
stride
You know that
I’ve got
whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs
I think life has
got to the point I know without
it’s no fun
I
need to
get in the right mind and clear myself up
Instead, I
look in the mirror questioning
what I’ve become
I guess
it’s a
stereotypical day for someone like me
Without a
nine-to-five job or an
uni degree
To be
caught up in the trappings of the industry
They showed me the
locked doors I find another
use of key, and you’ll see
(CHORUS)
I’m well
aware of certain
things that [D/A]will destroy a man like me
But with that
said give me one
more, higher
Another one to
take the sting
away
I am
happy on my
own, so here I’ll
stay
Save your
lovin’ arms
for a rainy
day
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain eraser
(VERSE)
I used to think that nothing
could be better than touring the world with my songs
I chased the
pictured perfect life, I think they
painted it wrong
I
think that
money is the root of evil and fame is hell
Relationships and hearts you
fixed, they break as well
And
ain’t nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
Because you’re
living your dream, man, this
shit should be fun
Please
know that
I’m not trying to preach like I’m Reverend Run
I beg you,
don’t be disappointed with the
man I’ve become
Our
conversations with my father on the A14
Age twelve telling me I’ve gotta
chase those dreams
Now I’m
playing for the people, dad, and they know me
With my
beat and small guitar wearing the
same old jeans
Wembley
Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thousand
I may have
grown up but I hope that
Damien’s proud
And
to the
next generation, inspiration’s allowed
The world
may be filled with hate but keep
erasing it now, somehow
(CHORUS)
I’m well
aware of certain
things that [D/A]will befall a man like me
But with that
said give me one
more, higher
Another one to
take the sting
away
I am
happy on my
own, so here I’ll
stay
Save your
lovin’ arms
for a rainy
day
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain
eraser
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain
eraser
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain eraser
(BRIDGE)
Welcome to the new show
I
guess you know I’ve been away
But where I’m heading, who knows
But my
heart will stay the same
Welcome to the new show
I
guess you know I’ve been away
But where I’m heading, who knows
My pain eraser
(OUTRO)
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain eraser
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain eraser
And I’ll find
comfort in my
pain eraser
