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
