Painkiller Lyrics

Maybe it's just the way you're wired

Some assistance is required

And I'm not quite the fix you're needing

A little something for the pain

A little more and more each day

And even then, the high is fleeting

With happiness in short supply

Down you go

There's only so much you can buy

And I know

I'm not your painkiller

But you can't say I didn't try

You're all strung out and that's the stuff 

You know you'll never get enough

There's no stopping once you've tried it

And you don't mind the damage done 

Falling from that high you're on

And I can't love you when you're like this

You won't look me in the eye

Down you go

And I can't help you live your lie

So I know

I'm not your painkiller

But you can't say I didn't try

You'll get by

You'll be fine

Just a bit

One last time

It's so hard

But you're trying

And I'm alright

I can stay

I'll be here

Come what may 

Now we both know we're lying

You say you'll stop

You always do

You couldn't if you wanted to

There's nothing else that's quite as satisfying

You know I hate to say goodbye

Down you go

But I refuse to watch you die

And I know

I'm not your painkiller

But you can't say I didn't try

I tried

I tried
