Postpone the Pain
Flight of Emotion: Postponing Heartache with Mark Chesnutt
Lyrics
I'm dying to forget about those goodbye words you said
I'm eager to forget the words you said when we parted ways
I thought everything was right but you went and left instead
I believed everything was fine, but you unexpectedly left
No pain, no gain, well I'm not out to win
The saying "No pain, no gain" doesn't apply to me; I don't aim to win
All I really want to do is live to love again
All I want is to live and love again
Trying to postpone the pain
Attempting to delay the emotional distress
Stay in from the rain
Choosing to stay indoors to avoid facing challenges
Buy a little time
Seeking ways to extend the time before confronting the pain
Keep you off my brain
Trying to keep thoughts of you out of my mind
Get out and go insane
Intending to engage in reckless behavior to distract from reality
Stay off memory lane
Avoiding revisiting memories of the past
Tonight I'll be flying trying to postpone the pain
Expressing a sense of escapism by flying metaphorically to avoid pain
Until that day arrives
Waiting for the day when the pain will subside
I'll spend all my nights
Currently spending every night in a particular way
Trying to postpone the pain
Continuing efforts to delay emotional pain
Stay in from the rain
Choosing to stay indoors during difficult times
Buy a little time
Seeking ways to prolong the period before facing the pain
Keep you off my brain
Attempting to keep thoughts of you at bay
Get out and go insane
Planning to engage in wild behavior as a distraction
Stay off memory lane
Avoiding the path of reminiscing about the past
Tonight I'll be flying trying to postpone the pain
Anticipating flying away metaphorically to escape from pain
The best way to survive
Suggesting that the best way to endure is spending nights in a certain manner
Is spending all my nights
Current strategy involves spending nights in a specific way
Trying to postpone the pain
Persisting in efforts to postpone emotional pain
Stay in from the rain
Opting to stay away from external challenges or difficulties
Buy a little time
Continuing attempts to extend the time before facing the pain
Keep you off my brain
Striving to keep thoughts of you from occupying my mind
Get out and go insane
Considering engaging in extreme behavior to escape reality
Stay off memory lane
Avoiding the path of reminiscing about past experiences
Tonight I'll be flying trying to postpone the pain
Expressing a plan to metaphorically fly away to avoid pain
