Ricky Mitchell - Behind (A Little Pain) Lyrics

I'll repeat myself
If only to the void
I'll defeat myself
If you ever get annoyed
I'll hate myself
If you see the purpose fit
I'll berate myself
To save you from my wit

'Cause I hate who I've become
Never really been the biggest fan of who I was
But if you give me just a second
I'm happy to explain
Why life got so much easier behind a little pain

I'll present myself
As nothing but a man
I'll resent myself
For the things that couldn't stand
I'll remind myself
That it shouldn't be so long
Then refine myself
'Til my dying breath has come

'Cause I hate who I've become
Never really been the biggest fan of who I was
But if you give me just a second
I'm happy to explain
Life got so much easier behind a little

Just because the pressure's in my brain
Doesn't make a difference to the fighter that remains
I guess that I've just seen how it ends
And it's never very pretty
And there's never any dignity

I just hate that I've become
The logical conclusion to the person that I was
And if you give me just a second, I won't have to explain
How life got so much easier behind a little pain
