I like to keep myself in pain Even when the sun is high Shining on the olive trees Theres still a shadow in my eyes And that shadow must be yours Falling all across the plains Ive got your wreckage in my heart, so I like to keep myself in pain In the quiet night I sleep To the sweet cascading rain Then your voices come to haunt me, so I like to keep myself in pain OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Yeeeaaaahhhhhh I like to keep myself in pain
Its not conscious I just do Must be something that I learned From all my time with you When people ask me where you are I say dont ask me that again Even if I told the truth this time I wouldnt know how to begin Pains the only thing you left me If I let it go, then I dont know who I am In my own brain It keeps me alive Ooooh-oooh It keeps me alive Ooooh-oooh It keeps me alive So I like to keep myself in pain
