Painkiller Lyrics

There was fighting in this house, you know
what once was easy is now shattered, this broken home
he said he loved her as he screamed down the phone saying,
when I cry I cry alone
but you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone,
you live it up and live it down on your own
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone,
you live it up and live it down on your own

how else can you give me some painkiller?
how else can you give me some pain?
how else can you give me some painkiller?
And after love again.

Not a slag and say I'm back upon her shoulder
cry cry the summer's gone, you're back but yet you're colder
maybe I'm just getting way too young for home saying
when I cry I cry alone
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone,
you live it up and live it down on your own
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone,
you live it up and live it down on your own

how else can you give me some painkiller?
how else can you give me some pain?
how else can you give me some painkiller?
And after love again.

There was fighting in this house, you know
what once was easy is now shattered, this broken home
he said he loved her as he screamed down the phone saying, 
when I cry I cry alone
but you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone, 
you live it up and live it down on your own
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone, 
you live it up and live it down on your own

how else can you give me some painkiller?
how else can you give me some pain?
how else can you give me some painkiller?
And after love again.

Not a slag and say I'm back upon her shoulder
cry cry the summer's gone, you're back but yet you're colder
maybe I'm just getting way too young for home saying
when I cry I cry alone
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone, 
you live it up and live it down on your own
you only get your silence when fighting's come and gone, 
you live it up and live it down on your own

how else can you give me some painkiller?
how else can you give me some pain?
how else can you give me some painkiller?
And after love again.

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.
