Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought my heart might break 'cause slowly this kills
Not everyone needs space (oh no)
You're what the doctor gave, I swallowed your pill
I never loved this way (oh no)
You pick me up and get me higher
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it down
You put it down
I had to turn the page to get here to you
Love how you numb my pain (oh yeah)
But all the nurses saved me, where is the juice?
That makes you go insane (oh yeah)
You pick me up and get me higher
You fill my cup with desire
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it down

In "Painkiller," Jason Derulo sings about his love interest who acts as his "painkiller" by numbing his emotional pain and filling him with desire. He acknowledges the possibility of heartbreak but finds solace in the fact that he never loved this way before. The chorus symbolizes his gratitude towards his lover for helping him overcome his distress and bringing him back to the way he used to feel. The repeated phrase "You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller" emphasizes how much he relies on her to relieve his pain and suffering.
The second verse implies that Jason had a difficult past and that the nurses saved him. The line "Love how you numb my pain" indicates that he has endured some emotional trauma in the past that has left him feeling hurt and vulnerable. However, he finds healing through his relationship with his lover and desires to stay with her for the long haul.
Overall, "Painkiller" serves as a metaphor for the power of love and how it can heal the emotional wounds of a person. Jason Derulo uses his seductive voice to convey his feelings of gratitude and appreciation towards his lover for helping him overcome his past trauma.
