Precious Pain - Melissa Etheridge

Everybody’s got a hunger

No matter where they are

Everybody clings to their own fear

Everybody hides some scar

Ooh… precious pain

Empty and cold

But it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul

So that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain

Everybody’s got a reason

To abandon their plan

How can I think of tomorrow

With my sorrow in hand?

Ooh… precious pain

Empty and cold

But it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul

So that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain

Each road that I walk down

Reminds me of you

This whole town is haunted

There’ll never be anything new

Precious pain

Empty and cold

It keeps me alive

I gave it my soul

So that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain

Oh…

Oh… oh…

Oh…

Ah…

Oh… oh…

Oh…

Ah, ah

Ooh… ooh…

Oh…
