The Suffering

I bought you an engagement ring back in 1972

Then a wedding ring the same year.

Then you divorced me in 1982

And now it's 2016

You hocked the engagement ring and took another

Sold the wedding ring the same year...

Placed a new one on your hand....

And then you forgot me.

But there's one ring you didn't take back.

You forgot the suffering

Take back the suffering.

Please take back the suffering.

I don't want it anymore

Take back the suffering

Please take back the suffering.

Tell me why I have to live with this pain

Tell me why didn't you take the suffering

I don't want it anymore

Take back the suffering.

There's one ring you didn't take back.

You forgot the suffering

Take back the suffering.

Please take back the suffering.

I don't want it anymore

Take back the suffering

Please take back the suffering.
