Ill Take My Sorrow Straight Lyrics

We both know the reason why you've called

so stop wasting time trying to
soften up my fall

I know you wanna sweeten up the taste

but if you
don't mind, I'll just take my sorrow straight



You almost make it
seem like something nice

the way you take your bad news and you pour it
over ice

That's a kindness I don't appreciate

'cause I like to take
my sorrow straight



I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the
rest

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less

'cause in the end, there is really no escape

so I go on and I just
take my sorrow straight



I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the
rest

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less

'cause in the end, there is really no escape

so I go on and I just
take my sorrow straight
