I don't believe a word what they say
It's only been a short time, only 90 days
You couldn't leave me baby, you couldn't walk
There's so much craziness, there's too much talk
I gave you all my love, I gave you all my time
Now I wake up in a cold, cold sweat losing my mind
I don't really care what the future holds
And I don't really care if your blood runs cold
I need a painkiller
Painkiller
I feel the silence creeping up on me
I see those thunderclouds, a night for secrecy
Here comes another cold, cold night closing all around
Like a cornered animal, I got to cover ground
It was bitter agony that night you ran away
Now I found some medicine, she takes my pain away
She's my painkiller
She's my painkiller
Painkiller
Now she's running through my veins
Painkiller
I don't need you baby
I don't need the pain
My time is too precious
Take it away
Take it away
My mama told me baby 'bout wild women like you
But I'm a wild man and I know just what to do
I found me a new love, she's better than cocaine
Gives me mad love just like the pounding rain
She's my
She's my
She's my
My
