This Pain Will Be Useful

Someday I know
That this pain will be useful
So much can grow
From a seed of a dying tree
It creeps up on me
At inopportune moments
Hot like a song in my lungs

Oh, I'm gonna make this life good
Even though, even though you thought I would
Never amount to anything of value
Watch me as I prove you wrong
By falling, falling in love with
Everyone and everything I touch
And who knew I could feel this much?

Someday I know
That this pain will be useful
And it won't look for comfort
In a drink or a stranger's bed
No more nights to undo
Only nights to remember
Little bursts of happiness instead

Oh, I'm gonna make this life good
Even though, even though I thought I would
Never amount to anything of value
Watch me as I prove me wrong
By falling, falling in love with
Everyone and everything I touch
And who knew I could feel this much?

(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)

Well, it's only a guess
But I bet that each beautiful house has a story that moves
Was it made by a man with a knot in his chest and
Unspoken truth?
And the songs that we sing in our cars in the parking lots
With our hands held high are just
Battle cries through puffy eyes that found a place to be alive

Someday I know
That this pain will be useful
So much can grow
From the seed of a dying tree
It leaps out of me
At inopportune moments
Too beautiful and delicate to touch
And who knew I could feel this much?
