Pain Is Inevitable

Daniel Caesar

Compositor: Daniel Caesar

Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?

Who runs the show who hands out the suspensions
I need a lesson in mishap prevention
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

Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery's 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 judgment
I agreed to something
Too deep to turn back
I'll deal with it in the afterlife
Young nigga done paid the price
Feels good to be nice

Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery's 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, life (maybe a little bit)
So long, sweet boy (oh, fuck)
You will be missed (baby, look what they did to me, baby)
Sweet as candy (look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet)
Soft as a kiss (smiling all the time, giggling and shit)
So long, sweet boy, you, you will be missed (I used to be a child)
(I just wanna be a child again)
Sweet as candy, soft as a kiss (so, don't pull the birds)
(I miss my minor sense, I miss trusting people)
(I used to trust)
(Look what they did to me, baby)
