[chorus]
Pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow oh why, oh why...
[verse 1]
I chased it with a shot
Of whisky, then maybe some rum then i broke it up on spot
And rolled it and smoked it to run
I tried to not face it
I tried to displace it
I need to erase it
I don't want to take it i tried to not face it
I tried to displace it
I need to erase it
I don't want to take it, cause...
[chorus]
Pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow oh why, oh why...
[verse 2]
I threw it all away
Lost my pride, dignity, my way
I tried to bury it in love
Like lighting, it struck from above
I tried to not face it
I tried to displace it
I need to erase it
I don't want to take it i tried to not face it
I tried to displace it
I need to erase it
I don't want to take it, cause
[chorus]
Pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow pain is a hard pill to swallow oh why, oh why...
Is it so hard
Why's it so hard
I don't want to take it
I don't want to take it, no i don't want to take it
It's a hard thing to do
