Precious Pain

Precious pain
empty and cold but it keeps me alive
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
Keeping me safe in these chains
Precious pain

No righteous energy left for tears,
You've left me dry after all these years

Precious pain, give me something new

I cannnot be

I cannot be this in love with you.
