Words

killing me softly with head pain,
killing me softly...
with head pain...
ruining my whole day...
triggered nerves, killing me softly...

I heard it could get better
I heard there was a cure
And so I saw a doctor
to find out for sure

They gave me sumatriptan,
which sometimes works, but sometimes...

[chorus]
Still in my head the ache lingers
Thrumming around in my brain
killing me softly with head pain,
killing me softly...
with head pain...
ruining my whole day...
triggered nerves, killing me softly...

I asked for hydrocodone
In case it got too bad
They said they'd rather not, and just use what I had
But now it isn't working
The feeling keeps right on...

[repeat chorus]
