I don't believe a word what they say
It's only been a short time, only 90 days
You couldn't leave me baby, you couldn't walk
There's so much craziness, there's too much talk
I gave you all my love, I gave you all my time
Now I wake up in a cold, cold sweat losing my mind

I don't really care what the future holds
And I don't really care if your blood runs cold

I need a painkiller
Painkiller

I feel the silence creeping up on me
I see those thunderclouds, a night for secrecy
Here comes another cold, cold night closing all around
Like a cornered animal, I got to cover ground

It was bitter agony that night you ran away
Now I found some medicine, she takes my pain away

She's my painkiller
She's my painkiller
Painkiller
Now she's running through my veins
Painkiller

I don't need you baby
I don't need the pain
My time is too precious
Take it away
Take it away

My mama told me baby 'bout wild women like you
But I'm a wild man and I know just what to do
I found me a new love, she's better than cocaine
Gives me mad love just like the pounding rain

She's my
She's my
She's my
My

Painkiller
Painkiller
Painkiller
Painkiller

Painkiller
Painkiller
Painkiller
Painkiller

She's my painkiller
She's my painkiller
Painkiller
Painkiller
My painkiller
She's my painkiller
