Can't Take the Pain Lyrics
No, I didn't see this one coming
It suddenly snuck up on me
I can't say you didn't tell me so
I can't say you didn't warn me
I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
I can't take the pain of leaving you alone
Of leaving you alone
I was there when they accused you
but I guess I was too afraid
Not just once and not just twice
But three times I denied your name
I never thought I'd get even a second chance
But you've given that and so much more
And then for every time I ever did deny
You ask me if I love you, You know I do, Lord
So I'm off to follow in your steps
it won't be easy, it's safe to say
There are only tow roads I can walk on down
The road less traveled is the one you paved
Lord, You took the pain even though I left You
And You took the shame and You made it all Your own
Why'd you take the blame for everything that I've done?
Lord, You took the pain
You and You alone, You and You alone
Its about Peter realization about his 3 denials of Christ. Its a song of remorse and praise to God.
It's about the struggle of a sinful soul for forgiveness from God. once he's forgiven, he must choose the path of Christ, or he'll be back where he started.
I think this is about a ho, whose pimp got busted, and she could have given him an alibi, but she was too afraid of the cops. So she ran and hid. And when he got back out on the street, he found her, probably gave her a severe beating. The ass-kicking taught her a good lesson, and now she's back workin' for him, but she knows not to screw up like that again, or it'll be her ass. Kinda sounds like a rap song.
Okay, FilmScorpio, I would appreciate it if you wouldnt mock my God, but hey, you are the one who will be in trouble for it so laugh it up. Anyways, this song, like Cuevo said, is about Peter and his denials to Christ. When it said" I can't say You didnt warn me", It is talking about the Lord's supper. Then when it says: "So I'm off to follow in your steps it won't be easy, it's safe to say," it is talking about his ministry with the church after the he matured up a bit when he saw how much he hurt Christ. ALSO, when it says: "There are only tow roads I can walk on down The road less traveled is the one you paved," it is referring to the verse that talks about the road to hell is wide and straight and the way to everlasting life in heaven is the way that is a rough road but all worth it in the end.
