My Blessed Pain Lyrics - Truth Be Told - Blues Traveler

Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed 26 cents from 

I wanted to ask what the extra penny was for 

I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you 

He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening 

I think you need it more" 

And it's the same damn thing 

The stuff you put me through 

I walked across a bridge and almost right past a suicide 

You could say I'm a hero, depending on the light that you put me in 

What changed her mind was when I took the time to tell her about you and me 

She heard my tale and then she climbed off the rail and she tried to push me in 

And it's the same damn thing 

I hope I'm doing it to you 

And it sounds like thunder 

And it feels like rain 

But I've been so thirsty that I can't explain 

How you feel me and grow me 

And no one has known me to complain 

For you are my blessed pain 

You are my blessed pain 

Girls need candy and flowers and monogamy 

From someone who makes them feel worthwhile 

Boys need food and five minutes with his right hand free 

But only the girl gonna make him smile 

And it's the same damn thing 

The stuff you put me through 

And it sounds like thunder 

And it feels like rain 

But I've been so thirsty that I can't explain 

How you feel me and grow me 

And no one has known me to complain 

For you are my blessed pain 

Girls need shoes and attention and monogamy 

From someone who makes them feel worthwhile 

Boys need food and basically five minutes with his right hand free 

But only the girl gonna make him smile 

And it's the same damn thing 

I hope I'm doing it to you 

And it sounds like thunder 

And it feels like rain 

But I've been so thirsty that I can't explain 

How you feel me and grow me 

And nobody's known me to complain 

'cause you are my blessed pain 

You are my blessed pain
