Monday on the line, when you know now's the time,
to leave and be free, the era, your destiny,
when that moment arrives, world's business to the mind,
and all I see is what used to be, my life could seem via memory.

I don't never want to feel your pain, (ooohhhhh)
wanna be ready when you call my name, (aaaahhhhh)
I don't never want to feel you fear, (ooohhhhh)
coz every night, it feels alright, when you're near.........

Battle through this war of nerves,
when your life, it takes a turn,
what I have is what I feel,
well in my mind, you're lying here,
(oooohhhhh) Feel the holy drift, there's a piece of me, you know he says,
all kinds of big stuff inside my head,
this stage fright in my own bed..... (aaaahhhhhh)

I don't never want to feel your pain, (ooohhhhh)
wanna be ready when you call my name, (aaaahhhhh)
I don't never want to feel you fear, (ooohhhhh)
coz every night, it feels alright, when you're near.........

Don't wanna be like a voice without words,
coz I need you here with me,
Don't wanna be under this world,
Now that I, will I surress my fears?
And will I beat this war of nerves?

(aaaahhhhhh)

I don't never want to feel your pain, (ooohhhhh)
wanna be ready when you call my name, (aaaahhhhh)
I don't never want to feel you fear, (ooohhhhh)
coz every night, it feels alright, when you're near.........

(aaaahhhhhh)

I don't never want to feel your pain, (ooohhhhh)
when its over will I feel the same? (no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't never want to feel you fear, (ooohhhhh)
This war of nerves that I reserve for when you're here............

(aaaahhhhhh)

I don't never want to feel your pain, (ooohhhhh)
I'm feeling hurt but I feel no shame (no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't never want to feel you fear, (ooohhhhh)
Do I deserve these cruel words we have here?
