Haven't Got Time For The Pain
Music by: Carly Simon
Lyrics by: Jacob Brackman

All those crazy nights
When I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore

'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

You showed me how
How to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind

Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

Suffering was the only thing
That made me feel I was alive
Thought that's just how much
It cost to survive in this world
'Til you showed me how
How to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white light
Pouring down from the heaven

Haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
