All this running around, well it's getting me down. Just give me a pain that I'm used to.

Yes, I have returned to Depeche Mode. I warned you in an early post (my first?) that they are my favorite band, so you shouldn't be too shocked by this. This is the first line of the chorus to the song, "A Pain That I'm Used To." I had a great deal of difficulty deciding on one specific line from this song. There's so many great ones.

Have you ever dated anyone who had huge plans for the both of you and the future? They're always talking about how wonderful things will be in 6 months? A year? 5 years? You're not even sure if you'll be wanting to be with them in 5 days, let alone 5 years. I've dated someone like that, and their constant planning of my future made me very tired and depressed. I couldn't keep up with them and a new, different exciting plan every day. By the end of it, I wanted out. I wanted to go back to being single, even though I hated it so badly before the relationship. At least with being single, it was something I knew. Something I could deal with. I really understand how someone can want to go back to "a pain that I'm used to."
