Lyrics:

It doesn't go away when you're trying not to stay
It doesn't go away no matter the days
When trying to forget, y'push it down with cigarettes or better yet
Burn it up into a fire but none of it goes

'Cause I know what I know and I know what I shouldn't
It's a loathsome truth between us now
Send it up in smoke, the embers all aglow
But it doesn't go away, this aching old pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh

No, it doesn't when you're trying
No, it doesn't go away, no matter the days
'Cause I know what I know and I know what I shouldn't
It's a loathsome truth between us now

If you're on the level
If you're on the level
Are you?

If you're on the level, on the level
You can talk to me
(Talk to me)

If you're on the level
I'm gonna level with you anyway
Are you flinty?
(Strong)
To hang my secrets on?

If you're on the level, on the level
You can talk to me
(Talk to me)

If you're on the level
I'm gonna level with you anyway
Are you flinty?
(Strong)
To hang my secrets on?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Come back, dummy, get it, get home
Come back, dummy, never leave me alone
Bring some sweetness, sugar, your drug
Gimme sickness, summa, summa your love

'Cause it doesn't go away, even trying out the strays
No, it doesn't go away, no matter the days
Send it up in smoke, the embers even show oh oh oh
But it doesn't go away, this aching old pain
