If Pain Persists Lyrics - Singles - The Good China

With a little imagination I pretend 

Your shiny new pearl necklace was a gift from me 

Oh, the thought of all this glorious gift givin' is enough 

to make me give when there's nobody to receive 

Such a waste to piss away what should be 

draped around your neck 

But when realities too much to take, 

Self deception is a vital skill to perfect 

Believe I know that I ain't got no chance 

Of this turning into romance 

But if I suspend my disbelief 

Maybe then Ill find a little relief 

Maybe then Ill finally get relief 

With a little imagination I pretend 

The pleasure you're expressing was caused by me 

Glad to oblige... I love to see you happy. 

The brutal reality is as far as youre concerned, I don't even exist 

But taking refuge in my fantasies Is a little too hard, baby, to resist 

Believe I know that I ain't got no chance 

of this turning into romance 

But if I suspend my disbelief 

Maybe then Ill find a little relief 

Maybe then Ill finally get relief 

Youll never know just how much I care 

While you're blissfully unaware, 

Its an unrequited love that I wish we could divey up and share 

Youll never know just how much I care 

While you're blissfully unaware, 

This unused excess of passion ferments into pain and despair 

Youll never know just how much I care
