Causes

Oh, my tawny one
Is it love you're running from?
Come on and tell us when you're done
And have you suffered enough?
Or still bound by a lover's keep
Pleading don't go back to sleep

But, oh my, my sensation
Had me reaching for the heel
Had me begging for the end of this reel
Saying, oh no, anything but this
This pain that I resist
This pain that persists

We hate suffering, but we think we love its causes
(Think we love its causes)
Escape suffering, but we hold on to its causes
(Hold on to its causes)

Every time I turn my back
Every time I walk away, there's a voice, I hear it say
"Have you suffered enough?
Or can we play with the tragedy
As just another way to get free?"

We hate suffering, but we think we love its causes
(Think we love its causes)
Escape suffering, but we hold on to its causes
(Hold on to its causes)

Oh, la-la-lei, forgive me, I was lost, I was astray
Oh, la-la-lei, thank you for remembering the way
(Oh) oh, la-la-lei, ooh
Oh, la-la-lei, ooh

Jenny was a dream in the mind
Of Hannah as she slept in her bed
Dreaming she was Jenny instead
Jenny pulls a book down from the shelf
She finds solace in the words, solace for a separate self

She hates suffering, but she thinks she loves it's causes
(Thinks she love its causes)
Escape suffering, but she holds on to its causes
(She holds on to its causes)

Oh, la-la-lei, ooh
Oh, la-la-lei, sorry that I caused you any pain
Oh, la-la-lei, forgive me, I was lost, I was astray

Oh, la-la-lei, thank you for remembering the way
Oh, la-la-lei, I love you more than words could ever say
Oh, la-la-lei, ooh
Oh, la-la-lei, ooh

Oh, la-la-lei, love you more than words could ever say

Thank you for remembering the way
