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...
