I was the candle, you were the flame.

You were the game piece, I was the game.

You were a garden, I was a single flower.

I lived by the minute, you lived by the hour.

You were my Novocaine,

You knew how to erase the pain.

We fell apart as easily as rain falls from the sky,

I meant nothing to you and you won't tell me why.

If love is a mystery, then you're a damn crime.

If death works on a clock, then you're not afraid of the time.

If trust is the key, then you were a lock.

If happiness is on shelves, you were out of stock.

You were my Novocaine,

You knew how to erase the pain.

We fell apart as easily as rain falls from the sky,

I meant nothing to you and you won't tell me why.

I need to know what you are thinking,

We're standing on a boat that is slowly sinking.

My heart is back to being in pain.

You are no longer my Novocaine.
