[Verse 1: Shaznay]
Monday on the line
When you know that now's the time
To leave and be free
Aware of your destiny
When that moment arrives
Wild visions through the mind
And all I see is what used to be
My life could soon be a memory

[Chorus: Shaznay with Natalie]
I don't ever wanna feel pain
Wanna be ready when you call my name
I don't ever wanna feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

[Verse 2: Melanie with Nicole]
Battle through this wall of nerves
When your life, it takes a turn
And what I have is what I fear
While in my mind, you're lying here
Fear that unholy dread
There's a piece of me in all he says
All kinds of weird stuff inside my head
The stage fright in my own bed

[Chorus: Shaznay with Melanie & Natalie]
I don't ever wanna feel pain
Wanna be ready when you call my name
I don't ever wanna feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

[Bridge: Natalie & Shaznay]
Don't wanna be like a voice without words
'Cause I need you here with me
Don't wanna be alone in this world
Will I suppress my fear
And will I beat this war of nerves?

[Chorus: Shaznay with Melanie & Natalie]
I don't ever wanna feel pain
Wanna be ready when you call my name
I don't ever wanna feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

I don't ever wanna feel pain
When it's over, will I feel the same?
I don't ever wanna feel fear
This war of nerves that I reserve for when you're here

I don't ever wanna feel pain
I'm feeling hurt, but I feel no shame
I don't ever wanna feel fear
Do I deserve these cruel words we have here?
