Novocaine

He recognized the fracture lines and asked how bad's the pain
 I said it's feeling worse than ever, can't you make it go away
 And 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 work
 A cast won't last
 A bandaid will come unglued
 The only way to heal your heart
 Is keep loving til one loves you
 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 Novocaine 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
 The doctor said it's true
 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 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
 The doctor said it's true
 Get better soon
 Get better soon
 Get better soon
 The doctor said today it can all go away
 Now get better soon
