Pain Chely Wright (Ft. Emmylou Harris)

Pain pain go away
Please don’t come another day
Please don’t make me fight you off again

I can’t do it anymore
We’ve gone to battle, gone to war
I surrender to you pain, you win

Now my outsides are just about as battered as my insides
No I can’t hide the lines around these sad eyes
I tried to keep it to myself, my own dark little secret
But you had to make sure everybody sees it, so be it

Pain pain you have been
A most destructive, loyal friend
You never left my side not even once

I’m tired and skinny I look rough
When I try to sleep you keep me up
I don’t think I’ve smiled in seven months

And now my outsides are just about as battered as my insides
No I can’t hide the lines around these sad eyes
I tried to keep it to myself, my own dark little secret
But you had to make sure everybody sees it, now they see it
