“pain” in a lyric: two examples

New shoes, I ran to catch the train,
and every step since then has been pure pain.

Finals week, just coffee in my brain,
and my neighbor's drumming is a pain.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • A one-syllable rhyme closes a line hard; a longer word softens it. Match it to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “pain” sounds forced, move “pain” inside the line and end it on another word.
