novocain

(Verse 1)

The ghost of your touch still lingers on my skin

A phantom warmth where your fire used to spin

I trace the lines of memories we made

Like faded ink, a love that starts to fade

And every beat of my heart echoes your name

A constant reminder of this hollow, aching game

(Chorus)

Novocain, you were my novocain

Numbing the sharp edges of the pain

A temporary fix, a fragile disguise

Now the feeling's wearing off behind my eyes

And all the hurt comes flooding back again

Novocain, you were never meant to mend

(Verse 2)

I built these walls so high, a fortress strong and deep

Trying to bury secrets that my wounded heart would keep

Each brick a memory, a tear I couldn't cry

Just swallowed down the sorrow as the lonely days went by

And I pretended I was fine, just going through the motions

Lost in the numbness, far away from all emotions

(Chorus)

Novocain, you were my novocain

Numbing the sharp edges of the pain

A temporary fix, a fragile disguise

Now the feeling's wearing off behind my eyes

And all the hurt comes flooding back again

Novocain, you were never meant to mend

(Bridge)

Maybe I was foolish to believe the lie

That I could live without the reasons why

Why you walked away, why love just slipped and fell

Now I'm facing all the pieces of this shattered spell

(Chorus)

Novocain, you were my novocain

Numbing the sharp edges of the pain

A temporary fix, a fragile disguise

Now the feeling's wearing off behind my eyes

And all the hurt comes flooding back again

Novocain, you were never meant to mend

(Outro)

The numbness fades, the truth cuts like a knife

Left with the wreckage of a love I couldn't save my life.

Novocain... just a memory now... of a love somehow...
