Lyrics
Living with the image of myself
Reflecting on my own image and existence
Never asking anyone for help
Preferring independence, not seeking assistance
I thought it easier to try
Opting for a challenging path rather than seeking help
On getting drunk and gettin high
Turning to alcohol and drugs for solace
Pictures of the past I can't recall
Unable to remember events from the past
Staring at the photos on the wall
Contemplating memories through pictures on the wall
I found out I found myself too late
Realizing self-discovery came too late
Not enough give and too much take
Imbalance in relationships, more taking than giving
Smoking, cigarettes in a hurricane
Metaphorically facing challenges with addiction
Lighting, fires in the pouring rain
Enduring difficulties, symbolized by fires in the rain
Trying, to stop a freight train
Attempting the impossible, like stopping a freight train
Oh but she's my kind of pain
Embracing pain as a unique, personal experience
She's my kind of pain
Affirmation that the mentioned pain is acceptable
I never got her point of view
Failing to understand someone else's perspective
But then again she hated mine too
Mutual misunderstanding in a relationship
It would do me right to be wrong sometimes
Acknowledging the importance of being wrong sometimes
But feeling guilt just ain't my style
Not letting guilt affect one's personal style
Smoking, cigarettes in a hurricane
Continuing struggles with addiction metaphorically
Lighting, fires in the pouring rain
Dealing with challenges symbolized by fires in rain
Trying, to stop a freight train
Persisting against overwhelming odds like a freight train
Oh but she's my kind of pain
Reiterating acceptance of a unique form of pain
She's so much trouble they call her misguided
Describing the person causing trouble as misunderstood
She don't build fires she just lights em
Emphasizing a destructive nature without constructive actions
It ain't always blue skies but I sure like a little rain
Enjoying challenges and finding beauty in adversity
Smoking, cigarettes in a hurricane
Continuing the struggle with addiction metaphorically
Lighting, fires in the pouring rain
Enduring difficulties symbolized by fires in the rain
Trying, to stop a freight train
Persevering against overwhelming challenges
Oh but she's my kind of pain
Affirmation of acceptance of a unique form of pain
She's my kind of pain
Repetition to emphasize the acceptance of this pain
She's my kind of pain
Repetition to reinforce the acceptance of unique pain
She's my kind of pain
Repetition for emphasis on the acceptance of pain
She's my kind of pain... that's right
Confirmation that this specific pain is embraced
