Amber Rubarth Novocaine lyrics

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
