[Intro: Ruel]
You're my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
You keep me close

[Verse 1: Ruel]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I'm diagnosed with
Shit days, mistakes
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine

[Chorus: Ruel]
'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
[Verse 2: Ruel]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I'm diagnosed with
Shit days, mistakes
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus: Ruel]
'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

[Verse 3: Denzel Curry]
Okay, the pain kills with no hesitation
And my brain fills with no narration
Got the same shield that block all our 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 thinkin' out Pandora's Box
Take your box and you keepin' the lock
And I'll keep it locked down for you
And I'm bound to you, how that sound to you?
Then spread like the flu
And that thought get around to you
[Chorus: Ruel]
'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, ooh-woah
You keep me close

[Outro: Ruel]
I know you hear me (Close)
Yeah (Close)
Close
