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
