All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive
Thought that's just how much it cost to survive in this world
'Til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white love
Pouring down from the heaven
I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
Carly Simon
I really haven’t got time for all this pain. It needs to go away so I can get on with my life. It is exhausting, simply wears me out, body and soul.
Who needs it? Pain which warns of injury is one thing, but years and years of endless physical pain? I question why must I go through it? And the overwhelming mental anguish that the very real physical pain causes? There’s just not enough meditation in the world to deal with it. I can only say “ohm” so many times. And so far the medications I have tried don’t work, short of becoming hooked on narcotics and stoned the rest of my life.
There must be an answer out there somewhere. I just haven’t found it yet. Any suggestions?
