Daniel Caesar - Pain Is Inevitable Lyrics

Who runs the shore?
Who runs the shore?
Who runs the shore?

Who runs the shore? Who wears out the suspensions?
I need a lesson and miss high perfection
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I'm in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal (you know the deal)

Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice

Now I'm a product, that must turn a profit
Something to prove, I'm a god, I'm a prophet
Tryna be something that's real
Comes at a price that's the deal
Against my better judgement
I agreed to something, too deep to turn back
I'll deal with it in the after life
Young nigga don't pay the price
Feels good to be nice

Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice

Pain

What if, tonight, Lucifer comes for you
Turns out, your light, light
I hope you're right (yeah)
'Cause nobody wants to be
(I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby)
Alone, for life, light (love me a little bit)
So long, sweet boy (so long, sweet boy)
Soon, you'll leave me (baby, look what they did to me, baby)
Sweet, baby (look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet)
So hesitant (smiling all the time, giggling and shit)
So long, sweet boy (sweet boy)
Don't- don't leave this (I used to be a child)
(I just wanna be a child again)
Sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
(So, don't kiss where it burns) soft as a kiss (soft as a kiss)
(I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people)
(I used to trust)
(Look what they did to me, baby)
