Lyrics Precious Pain - Melissa Etheridge

Precious Pain

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…
