Pain - Chely Wright

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
