Rosanne Cash lyrics : "Beautiful Pain"

Do you wanna be honest
Or do you wanna win?
You could have it all

If you could gracefully give in

Like when a martyr go sees a martyr

Lookin' in the mirror makes you cry harder
'bout your glitterin' ball and chain
In love in love with your beautiful pain


Excuses and all theories
Peak themselves and die

Even when they don't hold water
You try to keep them safe and dry


An' trade your moan for a positive tone
Reassured by ads about things you own
And so we go through this again

In love in love with your beautiful pain

If everything went runnin' smoothly

You'd soon lose who you were
Oh the pain and hurt for that's your real
So go on go back to her


You packed up all your troubles
You let me play the bars

An' hiked out to the meadows
And lay down on the fragrant moss


Put down your own tree
Then meticulously built a cross right there
And stared back at me

An climbed up on it again

In love in love with your beautiful

In love in love with your beautiful
In love in love with your beautiful pain
