I'll Take My Sorrow Straight Lyrics - Iris Dement

We both know the reason why you've called 

so stop wasting time trying to soften up my fall 

I know you wanna sweeten up the taste 

but if you don't mind, I'll just take my sorrow straight 

You almost make it seem like something nice 

the way you take your bad news and you pour it over ice 

That's a kindness I don't appreciate 

'cause I like to take my sorrow straight 

I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest 

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less 

'cause in the end, there is really no escape 

so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight 

I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest 

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less 

'cause in the end, there is really no escape 

so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight
