[Intro] Baby, I wasn't gone. Just trying not to feel the pain. [Verse 1] Yeah we got good at ignoring the wounds, Keeping up our guard in the same room. Late night silence and heavy hearts, Like one wrong word would tear us apart. Then one night, yeah we went too far, Misunderstandin' driving us apart, We already know how it broke us up, what went wrong and how it all went dark [Pre-chorus] I wasn’t gone. I was trying not to feel it. [Verse 2] I’d leave without leaving, you felt it too, Same hurt same space, but the distance grew. I chased relief, you chased control, Both of us trying to stay afloat That time apart felt so rough Like nothing could ever be enough Nothin' could fill the hole in my heart, trust me I tried real hard. ....Weed, Sleep, Friends, and a new beat.... [Pre-Chorus] I walked away from the pain, It followed me home all the same. [Chorus] We don’t need a painkiller We don’t need to numb We can sit in the feeling let it come if I lean in, and you don’t pull away You stay I don’t run That closeness right there Mmm That’s the one ohhhh That’s the true painkiller. [Verse 3] Something changed when we stopped defendin' No sharp edges, no pretendin' You asked how I felt and ya stayed so calm, Didn’t try to fix it, didn’t make it wrong. I set the armor down slow, You explained how you felt that blow, For the first time in a while, you and I smiled, Even through tears....... [Pre-Chorus] No scoreboard No debt to pay both of us Holdin' oooooon [Chorus] We don’t need a painkiller We don’t need to numb We can sit in the feeling let it come if I lean in, and you don’t pull away You stay I don’t run That closeness right there Mmm That’s the one mmm Our painkiller [Bridge] No need to be on high alert No future we gotta defend Just this, standing honest Not knowing where it ends and no running away [Final Chorus] We don’t need a painkiller We don’t need to numb We can sit in the feeling let it come if I lean in, and you don’t pull away You stay I don’t run That closeness right there Mmm That’s the one mmm That’s the true painkiller. Yeah That's our painkiller [Outro – quiet] Not fixed. Not broken. Just sittin' here with you. [End]
