[Verse 1]
This morning I was broken
That was heavy, a lot of words spoken
And I didn't know what to think at all
'Cause right now I could do without
But I know I had to talk with you
By that time, I'd had a few
I've got to work out what I said
Put the pillow back around my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I need a painkiller
Sugarcoated 'cause it tastes much better
And though I can't remember
Know I would say it again
[Chorus]
Every time I leave without your touch
Every time I think that you'd had enough
Every time I'm drunk and say too much
I know that I would say it again
Every time I think we're worlds apart
Every time I drink, I pour out my heart
Every time I think I've gone too far
I know that I would say it again
[Verse 2]
This evening I'm still broken
Can't believe we haven't even spoken
It's not that hard to text or call
Do you not even care at all?
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me a painkiller
Sugarcoated 'cause it tastes much better
And though I can't remember
Know I would say it again
[Chorus]
Every time I leave without your touch
Every time I think that you'd had enough
Every time I'm drunk and say too much
I know that I would say it again
Every time I think we're worlds apart
Every time I drink, I pour out my heart
Every time I think I've gone too far
I know that I would say it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me a painkiller
Sugarcoated 'cause it tastes much better
And though I can't remember
Know I would say it again
[Chorus]
Every time I leave without your touch
Every time I think that you'd had enough
Every time I'm drunk and say too much
I know that I would say it again
Every time I think we're worlds apart
Every time I drink, I pour out my heart
Every time I think I've gone too far
I know that I would say it again
