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 roundEverybody 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 sleepAnd, oh, my dear, you never know how
'Til the things you've done come and run you downAnd we want love like it was a drug
All we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
They were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to meAnd 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 bombsBut oh my dear don't make a sound
'Till somebody burns you and spits you outAnd we want love like it was a drug
All we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
They were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to meUse me up
Use me up
Yeah and I'll be enough
Come 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?Don't you want love like it was a drug?
Yea don't you want a little relief?
From every heart I held in between
They were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to meAnd 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
They were painkillers to me
Come get your painkillers from me
