To ease the pain
That heartaches bring
From broken love affairs
To many make
The same mistake
And try to drown their cares
The liquor flows
Their money goes
And teardrops fall like rain
One thing for sure
This is no cure
It's just to ease the pain
A crowed place
The friendly face
Of one who wears a smile
The warmth and bliss
From someone's kiss
Will linger for a while
A drink or two
With someone new
Might not be in vain
But this won't heal
A hurt that's real
It's just to ease the pain
A broken heart
Will fall apart
When left alone to grieve
To ease the pain
And hide the shame
You'll live in make believe
The tears you'll hide
But deep inside
The torture will remain
There's no mistake
The drink you take
Is just to ease the pain
In every life
Where pain and strife
Can hold the winning hand
The soul will cry
And wonder why
The things that fate had planned
The doubts and fears
And bitter tears
May be an endless chain
But living fast
Won't hide the past
It's just to ease the pain
