[Chely Wright, Emmylou Harris - Pain lyrics]
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
Pain pain go away
You can visit but you cannot stay
It’s shocking all the damage you have done
You’ve ravaged ruts into my mind
And you’ve aged me like the cheapest wine
Now everybody knows that you have won
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
Pain pain go away
You can visit but you cannot stay
It’s shocking all the damage you have done
You’ve ravaged ruts into my mind
And you’ve aged me like the cheapest wine
Now everybody knows that you have won
