Painkiller
Three Days Grace (Human 2015) Lyrics

You know you need a fix when you fall down
When life gets tough and you feel like giving up, you know you need something to help you pick yourself up again.

You know you need to find a way
You are aware that you need to find a solution to your problems that will get you through the day.

To get you through another day
To find something that can help you survive and manage the challenges that today will throw at you.

Let me be the one to numb you out
Let me be the one to take away your pain and sorrow so that you can forget about everything else.

Let me be the one to hold you
Let me be the one to comfort you and give you a shoulder to lean on when you are feeling down and out.

Never gonna let you get away
I will always be there for you, never letting you go, and always ready to help you through your struggles.

The shoulder you cry on
I am here to lend my ear and my shoulder to those who need someone to talk to or to cry on.

The dose that you die on
While I may be helping you overcome your pain, you have to be careful not to become too dependent on me or it could become fatal.

I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
I am here to be your painkiller and to help you through your struggles and inner turmoils.

You'll love me till it's all over, over
You can rely on me to always be there for you until you no longer need me.

'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
You can trust me to be a listening ear and a comforting presence when everything else feels like it's falling apart.

The dose that you die on
While I may be helping you through your pain, you have to be careful not to rely on me too heavily.

I know what you want so desperately
I understand the deep and intense pain that you are going through, and what you need to overcome it.

You know I'll give you one for free
You know I'm here for you, and I'm willing to give you the help you need, without judgement or conditions.

Forever you're coming back to me
No matter how hard you try to avoid or deny it, you will always come back to me for help when you need it the most.

Now I'm gonna give you what you need
I am here to give you the support, comfort and care that you need to get through your struggles.

'Cause I know what you fiend on and what you lean on
I have a deep understanding of the things that you rely on to get through tough times.

And what you lean on
I know what you desperately cling to when you're feeling lost or hopeless, and I'm here to support you through it.

Did you find another cure?
Have you found something else that can truly help you overcome your pain or are you still struggling?

I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
I am here to be the solution that you need to overcome your pain and find a way to live a happy and fulfilling life.

You'll love me till it's all over, over
You can trust and rely on me to be there for you until you have finally moved past your pain and found your own way forward.

'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
You can always come to me to find comfort and support when everything else feels like it's falling apart.

The dose that you die on
While I am here to help you through your struggles, you have to be careful not to become too dependent on me, or it could become dangerous.
