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...
(etc.)
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]
