precious pain

Melissa Etheridge

Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are
Everybody clings to their own fear, everybody hides some scar

(CHORUS)
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 pain
How can I think of tomorrow with my sorrow in hand

(CHORUS)

Each road that I walk down reminds me of you
This whole town is haunted, there'll never be anything new

(CHORUS)
