about

Don't Settle for the Pain is the latest single from Mermaid Avenue's second album Sugartown. Solid anthemic rock with an identifiable theme, it could be the hook for the current era.
'Life is calling you, Don't Settle for the Pain'

lyrics

Give me more time
To show you what’s right
You got a long way to go
Down this road

I made mistakes
pretended I could change
Oh don’t be like me
Son you will see

When I look at you
I see myself through and through
My damage brings all hell to pay
Fill your glass up
It’s always more than empty
Life is calling you
Don’t settle for the pain

Run like the wind
Don’t hesitate just begin
I let the sun go down
Too many times to count

Labour has its place
But your soul is not for sale
You can be what you want
Oh all that I never was

When I look at you
I see myself through and through
My damage brings all hell to pay
Fill your glass up
It’s always more than empty
Life is calling you
Don’t settle for the pain

Now there’s more behind
In front beckoning light
If only I knew
The chances were so few

When I look at you
I see myself through and through
My damage brings all hell to pay
Fill your glass up
It’s always more than empty
Life is calling you
Don’t settle for the pain

When I look at you
I see myself through and through
My damage brings all hell to pay
Fill your glass up
It’s always more than empty
Life is calling you
Don’t settle for the pain
