Let's Trade Places

i have comforted you always,

your pains are mine,

my happiness yours, forever,

and you believed me

you believed my words,

pains became mine,

and happiness returned to you,

and, you firmly believed me

you took my words seriously

thought pain is my name,

and happiness yours

and how nicely you believed,

i've earned my pains

and you have, your joys

how about we trade places

and for once, would you say -

your pains are mine,

my happiness yours, forever
