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 splint won't stick, 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."

Oooh, the doctor said, "It's true. 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
I 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

Oooh, the doctor said it's true
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 super store
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 every single way you loved the one that you knew
Then love yourself in that same way and in no time you'll be brand new."

Oooh, the doctor said it's true
Now get better soon
Get better soon
Get better soon
The doctor said today it can all go away, now get better soon
