The Pain Never Does Go Away

A Song By John Arruda

The Pain Never Does Go Away © 2011 John Arruda

As hard as I try, my heart just won't let me forget.
When I think about things, I have not thought about yet.
With the passage of time, a year, a month or a day,
Though it hurts less and less, the pain never does go away.

Some days go by, and I never give you a thought,
Then there are days that I think about you a lot.
I wish you were here, there isn't much more I can say.
Though it hurts less and less, the pain never does go away.

(Chorus)
Sometimes I feel that this is killing me slow,
Other times I feel like I really don't know.
It's all the same you see...what does it matter to me?

The passage of time should erase the memory of you.
When I think I've forgotten, I find that I haven't a clue.
Though years have gone by, it seems like just yesterday,
Though it hurts less and less, the pain never does go away.

@charleylanger - Hello Charley, I just read your message and want to thank you for your thoughts about ways to improve this song. You were not the first one to tell me to slow it down a bit. I guess I just was more concerned about the fact that it is a Bossa Nova, and most Bossa Novas are uptempo. Again thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Hey John -- beautiful melody! Thanks for sharing!

@Pyromancer32087 - The nice thing about YouTube is getting to see AND hear the talents of so many diverse musicians and songwriters. Music and songwriting is my passion, and YouTube is the perfect place to allow others to see & hear your music and critique it as well. I don't get upset if someone tells me that they do not like one of my songs...I just stamp my feet, run up the stairs and lock myself in the bathroom....lol...just kidding of course...but I think you know what I'm talking about.

@johnnieguitarII facebook is fine if you only use it to advertise your music or to play annoying farmville lol other than that all it does is fuel the drama queens lol thats why i got rid of mine im tired of trying to be a good person and getting nothing out of it except aggrivation from some but not all of the people on there i think you are a great musician and we can keep in contact through youtube rather than dramaBOOK !!!!!!
