Painkillers Lyrics

I need painkillers now

I can't allow myself to think about you
The memories are still too raw to bear
I need more than a drink or two
To drive away the thoughts of you

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now

I come home every night still waiting for you
But sometimes I forget and call your name
I can smell you in my bed
You're still alive inside my head

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now

Need more than drink or two
To drive away the thoughts of you

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now

I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now

I need painkillers now

I can't allow myself to think about you
The memories are still too raw to bear
I need more than a drink or two
To drive away the thoughts of you

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now

I come home every night still waiting for you
But sometimes I forget and call your name
I can smell you in my bed
You're still alive inside my head

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now

Need more than drink or two
To drive away the thoughts of you

Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers
Wish I could numb my mind and soul with novocaine
Wish I could feel nothing at all
I need painkillers now

I need painkillers now
I need painkillers now

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.
