What's your pain stayin' away, cant' she stay away,
every single time, [bad word] with my mind,
built up all this rage, trapped inside some cage,
while she sits and smiles

Layla, layla

What's your pain stayin' away, cant' she stay away,
every single time, [bad word] with my mind,
built up all this rage, trapped inside some cage,
while she sits and smiles

Layla, layla

Pain and rage and fear I feel, pain and rage

What's your pain stayin' away, cant' she stay away,
every single time, [bad word] with my mind,
built up all this rage, trapped inside some cage,
while she sits and smiles

Layla, layla

Inside I'm afraid , afraid of who I am,
tell me this real, I am a government,
I have fought to find a way,
I am afraid, to be who I am

Layla, layla

That's why I cry, this lie I drown
