Pain Killer

Verse 1
I've been pouring whiskey on your memory
I cant 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 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
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
Its 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.
