Melissa Etheridge - Precious Pain lyrics

Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are

Everybody clings to their own fear, everybody hides some scar.

Ooo, 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.

Ooo, 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...
