"Painkiller" lyrics

"Painkiller"

How long's too long
To wait for someone?
Say what you want about it
If it helps you, it's supposed to

Go out, get drunk
Go out, feel numb
Stay out all night if you need to
Sometimes we all do

I think you need a painkiller
'Cause you've been sleeping with the lights on
Take away the pain quicker
And all that shit you're tryna run from
'Cause I don't really know about you
I hate to see you black and blue
I could be your painkiller

Head up, stay strong
Your curtains still drawn
And do what you need to be human
You do you man

I think you need a painkiller
'Cause you've been sleeping with the lights on
Take away the pain quicker
And all that shit you're tryna run from
'Cause I don't really know about you
I hate to see you black and blue
I could be your painkiller

Time will slowly unfold you
Even though they told you nothing would work
You've been in the deep end
Without your best friend
Man, I know it hurts

I think you need a painkiller
'Cause you've been sleeping with the lights on
Take away the pain quicker
And all that shit you're tryna run from
'Cause I don't really know about you
I hate to see you black and blue
I could be your painkiller
