I like to keep myself in pain
Even when the sun is high
Shining on the olive trees
There's still a shadow in my eyesAnd that shadow must be yours
Falling all across the plains
I've got your wreckage in my heart, so
I like to keep myself in painIn 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 YeeeaaaahhhhhhI like to keep myself in pain
It's not conscious I just do
Must be something that I learned
From all my time with youWhen people ask me where you are
I say don't ask me that again
Even if I told the truth this time
I wouldn't know how to beginPain's the only thing you left me
If I let it go, then I don't 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
