\/>\nBut stopped at the age of nine<br \/>\nI forget when I get awards now, the wave I had to ride<br \/>\nThe paving stones I played upon, that kept me on the grind<br \/>\nSo blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life<br \/>\nFriends and family filled with envy, when they should be filled with pride<br \/>\nAnd when the world\u2019s against me, is when I really come alive<br \/>\nAnd every day that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride<\/p>\n<p>You know that I\u2019ve got whisky with white lies, and smoke in my lungs<br \/>\nI think life has got to the point, I know without it\u2019s no fun<br \/>\nI need to get in the right mind and clear myself up<br \/>\nInstead I look in the mirror, questioning what I\u2019ve become<br \/>\nGuess it\u2019s a stereotypical day, for someone like me<br \/>\nWithout a nine to five job or a uni degree<br \/>\nTo be caught up in the trappings of the industry<br \/>\nShow me the locked doors I\u2019ll find another use for the key, and you\u2019ll see<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me<br \/>\nBut with that said give me one more<br \/>\nI am another one to take the sting away<br \/>\nI am happy on my own so here I\u2019ll stay<br \/>\nSave your loving arms for a rainy day<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019ll find comfort in my pain eraser<\/p>\n<p>I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs<br \/>\nI chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong<br \/>\nI think that money is the route of all evil, and fame is hell<br \/>\nRelationships and hearts you fix, they break as well<br \/>\nAnd ain\u2019t nobody want to see you down in the dumps<br \/>\nBecause you\u2019re living your dream and this should be fun<br \/>\nPlease know that I\u2019m not trying to preach like I\u2019m reverend run<br \/>\nI beg you don\u2019t be disappointed with the man I\u2019ve become<\/p>\n<p>Conversations with my father on the A14<br \/>\nAge 12, telling me I\u2019ve gotta chase those dreams<br \/>\nNow I\u2019m playing for the people dad and they know me<br \/>\nWith my beaten small guitar, wearing the same old jeans<br \/>\nWembley stadium crowds, two hundred and forty thou<br \/>\nI may have grown up but I hope that Damian\u2019s proud<br \/>\nAnd to the next generation, inspiration\u2019s allowed<br \/>\nThe world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehow<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me<br \/>\nBut with that said give me one more<br \/>\nI am, another one to take the sting away<br \/>\nOh I am happy on my own so here I\u2019ll stay<br \/>\nWell save your loving arms for a rainy day<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019ll find comfort in my pain eraser<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019ll find comfort in my pain eraser<br \/>\nAnd I\u2019ll find comfort in my pain eraser<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the new show<br \/>\nI guess you know I\u2019ve been away<br \/>\nWhere I&#8217;m heading who knows<br \/>\nMy heart will stay the same<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the new show<br \/>\nI guess you know I\u2019ve been away<br \/>\nWhere I&#8217;m heading who knows<br \/>\nMy pain
