Painkillers Lyrics

suddenly, I'm alone again
suddenly, I have to pretend that we're in love
soearing high above, the atmosphere
but I can't see clear
but I can't see clear

I need painkillers just to be, just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be, just to be with you
let's lie beneath the stars and cry
when I get down I get high

suddenly, I'm yours again
suddenly, I have a friend
suddenly, I can't get no satisfaction
all from a chemical attraction
all from a chemical attraction

I need painkillers just to be, just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be, just to be with you
let's lie beneath the stars and cry
when I get down I get high

when I get down I get high
I get high
I get high
I get...
I get high
I get high
I get high
I get...

I need painkillers just to be, just to be with you
I take painkillers just to be, just to be with you
let's lie beneath the stars and...
let's lie beneath the stars and...
let's lie beneath the stars and...
let's lie beneath the stars and...
let's lie beneath the stars and cry
when I get down I get high

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cherry monroe is one of the best bands i have heard in a while.i think what the song is trying to say is that he was blinded by this girl who he was forced to love and how he needed pain killers to get through with it.
