I've been pouring whiskey on your memory   I cant seem to drown this hurt inside   Bottom of the bottle leaves me empty   I need something strong to ease my mind      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      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   It?s gonna be so hard to swallow down      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
