The Proclaimers - Harness Pain lyrics
[The Proclaimers - Harness Pain lyrics]
You need to harness pain
To raise yourself up again
You need to harness pain
And tell the truth about love
You need to break your heart
Before you can really start
You need to break your heart
And tell the truth about love
Then you need to set a
Goal that you can't reach
Then you have to attack
Defenses you can't breach
Then you need to lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
You need to take your doubts
And spread them all about
You need to face your doubts
To tell the truth about love
You know the cliche's wrong
Hatred is just as strong
You know it's just as strong
Just as strong as love
So you need to take your
Hate and doubt and fear
Distill them through your word
'til they run clear
'Til they run right through your
Heart like Highland rain
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
Do you want to be the best or be well known?
Do you want to repeat lines
Or write your own?
Do you want to follow paths or blaze a trail?
When you try to succeed, You mostly fail
And you're gonna lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
To raise yourself up again
You need to harness pain
And tell the truth about love
You need to break your heart
Before you can really start
You need to break your heart
And tell the truth about love
Then you need to set a
Goal that you can't reach
Then you have to attack
Defenses you can't breach
Then you need to lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
You need to take your doubts
And spread them all about
You need to face your doubts
To tell the truth about love
You know the cliche's wrong
Hatred is just as strong
You know it's just as strong
Just as strong as love
So you need to take your
Hate and doubt and fear
Distill them through your word
'til they run clear
'Til they run right through your
Heart like Highland rain
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
Do you want to be the best or be well known?
Do you want to repeat lines
Or write your own?
Do you want to follow paths or blaze a trail?
When you try to succeed, You mostly fail
And you're gonna lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain you harness pain
