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
