Hi, welcome back. I remember you.
Your familiar embrace, that tells me, that you're still here too.
it's inevitable, your touch.
Flows through every vein.
A sadness. A happiness.
that drives me insane.
[chorus]
[shouting, sustained ]
Pain!
it's been so long, where have you been.
hidden behind a mask of love.
the one that made my heart spin.
Pain!
You thought you'd get away.
and walk away from my life.
but I can't let go of the way you make me feel.
when you slice me with your knife.
[softly sung]
Pain. welcome back. Pain.
[verse]
You're all I've been able to count on.
The best friend that I've ever had.
Through all the good times, the joys, the happiness and smiles.
I can always rely on you to carry me through the miles. of
[chorus]

Pain!
it's been so long, where have you been.
hidden behind a mask of love.
the one that made my heart spin.
Pain!
You thought you'd get away.
and walk away from my life.Welcome back
but I can't let go of the way you make me feel.
when you slice me with your knife.
Pain. Pain.
[shouting, long sustaining]
Pain!

[outro, soft melodic instrumental]
Welcome back old friend, I always hear them say.
love can't last. nothing gold can stay.
so I'll just embrace your anger, and sorrow that drives me insane.
thank you for being my friend. my best friend.
