Take The Pain Away
• Written by MrMatrix
[Hook]
Oh mom, what do I do?
No one ever hears the truth.
I cry, they say I’m heartless—
They don’t know what I’ve been through.
Oh mom, what do I do?
Talkin’ pain, they look confused.
I’m breakin’ and they laugh it off—
Like I ain’t got nothin’ to lose.
[Verse 1]
How do I let it all go?
This pain ain’t ever gave me nothin’, just a heart turned stone.
Yeah I know it’s time to let go,
But that just ain’t me, mom — this all I’ve known.
All I ever do is push through, try to succeed,
Tired of bleedin’ these thoughts every time that I breathe.
Feel like I been tested my whole damn life,
Like God kept pressin’ me just to see if I break inside.
And I know that ain’t right…
But it’s hard not to question it late at night.
Still I stand, still I fight, still I carry this weight,
Tryna turn all this pain into somethin’ that’s great.

[Verse 2]
Got my head full of noise,
Mom, where do I go from here?
Is it heaven or hell—I just need to know,
Did I do it right through the years?
Did I say the right things,
Did I give ’em enough to believe?
Tried to give my kids everything they wished for,
Still wonder what they see in me.
How do I know who I am
when my childhood got stripped away?
All I learned was survive in the cold,
push the hurt down, don’t let it stay.
I just wanna walk in a warmer world,
one where my heart don’t freeze,
One where I can finally breathe again,
and let this weight release.
[Bridge] (quiet, emotional shift)
Maybe I been carryin’ too much on my own,
Tryna build a life but still feel alone.
If I break, would it finally set me free?
Or just show the world what they never see…

I’m breakin’ but I’m holdin’ on—
Like I still got somethin’ to prove.
