Background

"Years ago, when we were working on All Hope Is Gone, there was another record that Clown and I were working on up in the farmhouse, away from the studio. 'My Pain' was something that was born at that time, and it was always something that Clown was working on, it's like that one painting that you keep going back to. I don't think he wanted to use it for whatever it is we're going to end up calling that other music, and for all I know, we may never end up releasing it. But this was one of those things that he wanted to revisit and see where it could go. Corey pulled out all the stops, and made it something special."

—Jim Root

Lyrics

[Intro]
Pain, she loves me
Wants me to be
Less scared, more free
To feel more of my pain

[Verse]
I'm your friend and I'm your shade
Do what you want, just remember it's for love
I'm your wall and I'm your rock
Don't run away, don't forget it's only love
I'm your chain and I'm your lock
There's no escape, just as long as I say, "Love"
I'm your death and I'm your cold
You end with me, remember, this was never love
(Love, love, love, love)
I'll take this
(Love, love, love, love)
And I'll take that
(Love, love, love, love)
I'll take you too
(Love, love, love, love)
You can never give too much

[Bridge]
Pain, she loves me
Wants me to be
Less scared, more free, pain
Pain, she loves me
Wants me to be
Less scared, more free
To feel our love, pain

[Outro]
I've always
Felt this way
For you
