Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

I haven't got time for the pain (No pain)

I haven't got room for the pain (No pain)

I haven't the need for the pain

[Verse 4]

Sufferin' was the only thing that made me feel I was alive

Thought that's just how much it cost to survive in this world

Till 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

[Verse 5]

I haven't got time for the pain (No pain)

I haven't got room for the pain (No pain)

I haven't got need for the pain

Not since I've known you

[Verse 6]

I haven't got time for the pain

I haven't got room or the need for the pain

I haven't got need for the pain

No, I haven't got time, I haven't got time

No, I haven't got time for the pain

[Verse 7]

I haven't got room for the pain, no, no, no

I haven't got need for the pain, no, no, no

I haven't got time for the pain

Need or the time

I haven't got room for the pain

No, no, no time for the pain

It's over, the past, no no, no no no
