precious pain

Singer:melissa etheridge

everybody's got a hunger

no matter where they are

everybody clings to their own fear

everybody hides some scar

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

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 but it keeps me alive

i gave it my soul so that i could survive

keeping me safe in these chains

precious pain
