  • You're my painkiller
    When my brain gets bitter
    You keep me close
    You keep me close

    I got front row seats for the parkside livin'
    Feel like the one, but I'm one in a billion
    Teenage cynical, and I don't really know
    What's the point of livin' if my heart gets broken?
    Drivin' on the road, waiting for head-on collision
    Springtime funeral
    I miss you, but I'd rather be alone
    To keep me from

    Heartbreaks, headaches
    The doctor says I'm diagnosed with
    Shit days, mistakes
    But I'll be fine
    But I'll be fine

    'Cause you're my painkiller
    When my brain gets bitter
    You keep me close
    When I've been miserable
    And it takes forever
    To let my brain get better
    You keep me close
    You keep me close

    Window seats as the plane starts leavin'
    Miss those streets where my knees were bleedin'
    Homesick veteran
    I left my bed again
    Oh, lookin' for

    Heartbreaks, headaches
    The doctor says I'm diagnosed with
    Shit days, mistakes
    But I'll be fine
    But I'll be fine

    'Cause you're my painkiller
    When my brain gets bitter
    You keep me close
    When I've been miserable
    And it takes forever
    To let my brain get better
    You keep me close
    You keep me close

    Okay, the pain kills with no hesitation
    And my brain fills with no narration
    Got the same shield that block all the hatred
    Got the same chills when them thoughts are racin' about you
    Talkin' flowers in various hues
    Take a poem and make it the blues
    If it's violence, then sirens are red
    You won't talk 'til I'm under the bed
    Pretty nasty girl, forget what I said
    I'm kidding baby, I'm just out of my head
    I've been thinking out Pandora's Box
    Take your box and you keepin' the lock
    And I keep it locked down for you
    And I'm bound to you, how that sound to you?
    They spread like the flu
    I'm not fucking around to you

    'Cause you're my painkiller
    When my brain gets bitter
    You keep me close
    When I've been miserable
    And it takes forever
    To let my brain get better
    You keep me close, oh woah
    You keep me close

    I know you hear me (close)
    Yeah (close)
