I Like To Keep Myself In Pain

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 eyes

And 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 pain

In the quiet night

I sleepTo the sweet cascading rain

Then your voices come to haunt me, so

I like to keep myself in pain

OOOOOOOOOO

OOOOHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHH

Yeeeaaaahhhhhh

I like to keep myself in pain

It’s not conscious

I just doMust be something that

I learnedFrom all my time with you

When 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 begin

Pain’s the only thing you left me

If I let it go, then

I don’t know who

I amIn my own brain

It keeps me alive

Ooooh-oooh

It keeps me alive

Ooooh-oooh

It keeps me alive

SoI like to keep myself in pain
