Taste The Pain lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers song

Flat on my back
In the lonely sprawl
I stare at the ceiling
Cuz I can not fall
Asleep tonight
No not at all
Head lights flash
Across my bedroom wall
Crying eyes open
Cuz I can not fall
In love with you
No not at all

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
(repeat)

Busted in two
Like a brittle stick
I can not drink
Because my throat constricts
Lovesick from you
That will never do

Open my mouth
I couldn't make a sound
I could not scream
You know I could not shout
It out to you
Nothing to do

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
(repeat)

Yeah

This may come as a shocking surprise
I have to take a walk
I have to kiss it goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
I am not alive

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

How the price gets paid

Aye aye aye aye aye aye

I've got to pay the price
I cannot walk away
Never be intentional with my love again
I've got to know the price
