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
