[Verse 1]
I've been pouring whiskey on your memory
I can't seem to drown this hurt inside
The bottom of the bottle leaves me empty
I need something strong to ease my mind

[Chorus]
I need a painkiller
Just one night of sleep
Someone who will hold me close
And get me over him
And it'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a painkiller
Before this pain kills me

[Verse 2]
Never thought I'd have to love another
Never been the kind to sleep around
I wish it was a pill and not a lover
It's gonna be so hard to swallow down

[Chorus]
I need a pain killer
Just one night of sleep
Someone who will hold me close
And get me over him
And it'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me
And It'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me

I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me
