Chely Wright - Pain

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
