Melissa Etheridge
"Precious Pain"

(M. 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 plan
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
