[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, my dear, you never know how
Until the things you've done come and run you down
[Chorus]
And 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 me
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, my dear, don't make a sound
'Til somebody burns you and spits you out
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Use 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?
[Chorus]
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
They were painkillers to me
They were painkillers to me
[Chorus]
And we want love like it was a drug
Yeah, all we wanted was a little relief
And every heart I held in between
Well, they were painkillers to me
Yeah, they were painkillers to me
[Outro]
Come get your painkillers from me
