Lyrics
I feel you move through this crowded room
And I catch myself like a spell fallen under you
I've been here before
Watching the wheels go 'round
But everybody that I've ever known
They just ache all night and they wake up alone
Yeah, we wait in the dark
For something to put us to sleep
And oh, my dear you never know how
'Till the things you've done come run you down
And we want love like it was a drug
And all we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
They were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to me
And could you be to me a love supreme?
'Cause we wait out this life just to hold on to anything
‘Cause most of the sparks are just sweet little cherry bombs
Oh, my dear, don't make a sound
'Till somebody burns you and spits you out
And we want love like it was a drug
All we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
Yeah they were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to me
Use me up
Use me up
Can I be enough?
Come on and use me up
Use me up
Oh, don't you love the way I drag you down?
Ain't that enough for you now?
And don't you want love like it was a drug?
Yeah don't you want a little relief?
From every heart I held in between
Well they were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to me
And we want love like it was a drug
Yeah all we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
They were painkillers to me
Yeah they were painkillers to me
Come get your painkillers from me
