Lyrics of Novacaine

He recognized the fracture line and asked
How bad's the pain
I said it's feeling worse than ever, can't you make it go away
He studied my heart up and down and said
I've never seen one quite this bad
I'll wrap it up if you want me to but i
Must be warning you

A split won't work, a cast won't last
A band-aid will come unglued
The only way to heal your heart
Is keeping loving til one loves you

Ooh the doctor said it's true
Ooh now get better soon

Well i knew that i couldn't wait and he'd walked out the door
So i grabbed the novacaine and some pills from his drawer
And when i got home i held my heart and
Bandaged all those ugly scars
Numbed the pain and popped the pills until my heart went still

And life just passed by every day like every day before
I felt no love, i felt no pain
I played my part and nothing more

Ooh the doctor said it's true
Oooh now get better soon

I couldn't stand the pain
I couldn't stand the pain
I couldn't stand the pain so i washed it away
I couldn't stand the pain

I ran into the doc last weekend at the grocery superstore
He asked me how's it feeling and i said it's barely sore
But he saw my eyes so dark and blank and that
Practiced smile on my face
He said there's one more thing to do and i think it might cure you

Write down everything you loved about the one you knew
Then love yourself in that same way and in no time you'll be brand new

Ooh the doctor said it's true
Oooh now get better soon

Ooh get better soon
Ooh get better soon
The doctor said today it can all go away
Now get better soon
