Lirieke: Melissa Etheridge. Melissa Etheridge. Precious Pain.

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
