We both know the reason why you've called

so stop wasting time trying to soften up my fall

I know you wanna sweeten up the taste

but if you don't mind, I'll just take my sorrow straight



You almost make it seem like something nice

the way you take your bad news and you pour it over ice

That's a kindness I don't appreciate

'cause I like to take my sorrow straight



I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less

'cause in the end, there is really no escape

so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight



I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest

but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less

so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight
