A Pain That I’m Used To Lyrics by Depeche Mode

Playing the Angel (Deluxe)

2005

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you say what you're trying to play anyway?
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
All this running around, well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience repentance unknown
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds that are sown
[Verse 4: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air, I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
All this running around, well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true
All this running around, well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true
