(carly simon/jacob brackman) All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore 'cause I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you You showed me how, how to leave myself behind How to turn down the noise in my mind Now I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive Though that's just how much it cost to survive in this world 'til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love How to open up and drink in all that white light Pouring down from the heaven I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you
