Verse 1
I know I should’ve learned by now
Every time I leave, you pull me back around
Like a habit I can’t put down
Like a melody that follows me through every town
They say time can heal a wound
But I wear these scars like proof
Every ache you left behind
Feels like something I don’t wanna lose
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I’m addicted to the rush
Maybe I’m addicted to your touch
Maybe loving you was too good for me
But it’s the only thing that feels enough
Chorus
‘Cause the pain feels good when it comes from you
Every sleepless night feels like a memory I can’t lose
Even if the world erased your name
And washed away the truth
My mind might forget but my heart won’t
My hands might let go but my soul won’t
Even if forever tries to fade you from my view
The pain feels good when it’s loving you
Verse 2
If tomorrow stole my memories
And left my past somewhere I couldn’t reach
I’d still stop when I heard your voice
Like some part of me would recognize the frequency
I don’t know what kind of spell you cast
But every road still leads me back
And every version of myself
Finds your shadow in the aftermath
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I’m addicted to the hurt
Maybe that’s what makes it worse
Every goodbye feels temporary
Like my heart never got the word
Bridge
How many hits would it take to forget?
How many nights until there’s nothing left?
How many lifetimes till your ghost finally fades?
How many hits would it take to forget?
It would take one bullet to the brain
And even then I know that my heart
Would still remember your name
Final Chorus
’Cause the pain feels good when it comes from you
Like a fire I know burns but I keep running to
And if the stars rewrote my history
And split my world in two
My mind might forget but my heart won’t
The years might move but this love won’t
Even if I wake up as somebody new
I think I’d find my way back to you
Yeah, the pain feels good
When it’s loving you
