Novocaine

You know what's wrong with you Miss Whoever-You-Are

You're chicken you've got no guts

You're afraid to stick out your chin and say

Okay life's a fact people do fall in love

People do belong to each other

Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness

You call yourself a free spirit a wild thing

And you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage

Well baby you're already in that cage you built it yourself

And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip Texas

Or in the east by Somaliland

It's wherever you go

Because no matter where you run

You just end up running into yourself

I remember nights every summer at your house

It was you and me together was the only time I felt yeah

Now you're on your own spending time with someone else yeah

I can't even trip cause I did this to myself

Now you say stupid **** like you wish you never met me

Gassed up by your friends they hold everything against me

I just need some time peace of mind feeling empty

All she ever wanted was a little more attention

And was it too much

Probably not

But where I'm at

Is all I got

Now I'm in my bedroom

Door locked

And I'm doing all I can not to cry

How am I supposed to let you go

Someone please let me know

Cause you was my novocaine

I need you to numb this pain

How am I supposed to let you go

Someone please let me know

Cause you was my novocaine

I need you to numb this pain

I just want this to work

Even though we know it's hell

But to say I'm not a burden you'd be lying to yourself

Sick of all the distance and I can't tell

Thinking things will change but it never will

It's too late I tried same games no prize

I'm all alone I want you home

All I wanted was someone to call my own

And was it too much

Probably not

But where I'm at

Is all I got

Now I'm in my bedroom

Door locked

And I'm doing all I can not to cry

How am I supposed to let you go

Someone please let me know

Cause you was my novocaine

I need you to numb this pain

How am I supposed to let you go

Someone please let me know

Cause you was my novocaine

I need you to numb this pain

Baby come numb up this pain

I think I'm going insane

Healing me up beating me down

Making me doubt

I don't know no more

I don't want it anymore

How am I supposed to let you go let you go

Someone please let me know let me know

Cause you was my novocaine novocaine novocaine

I need you to numb this pain numb this pain numb this pain

How am I supposed to let you go let you go

Someone please let me know let me know

Cause you was my novocaine ooh yeah

I need you to numb this pain I need you to numb this pain ^[1]
