The spoken of 'fight inside' is describing the struggle in this earthly body between the two selves.
The spirit self and the flesh self.
The songwriter is saying 'and it hurts again' because the flesh tries continually to hurt the spirit and keep it away from God and His ways.
He fears the sins he tries, and tries to hide them with words.
He wants the pain to end, meaning the sin, but he wants it again.
The spirit is wanting the pain to end, but the flesh is wanting it badly.
He's saying that the struggle between the flesh and the spirit is breaking him because of how hard he has to fight for the spirit to win, and it's raging inside of him like a battle.
He's saying that living a life of sin is masochistic and 'pursuing pain' meaning wanting it and following it.
Is it worth the lie i've gained?
it's saying is the pain worth it? or is there a truth that will take it away?
This time in the chorus, he compares the struggle to a war, which i believe since it didn't go that harsh int he beginning, is saying the fight gets harder as time passes.
It's nothing, it's everything.
This is when the flesh is trying to convince the spirit that the sin it's committing is no big deal, and the flesh responds "it's everything" to say that it's the biggest deal there is.
It's breaking me
Just a repeat of the fact that the fight is destroying him from the inside
I'm falling apart
Adds to the effect of breaking by saying he's falling apart.
Again, that's just what i get out of each part of the song.
I really like what you have to say about this song, and I don't have any criticisms. I'm just writing this because when you discuss the line, "It's nothing, it's everything," you said that the "flesh" responds "it's everything," when what I know you meant to say was the "spirit" instead.

Not trying to be nit-picking, just trying to help others avoid confusion. Keep up the good work. ;)
