Why you make me feel like I'm the criminal?
Talking in subliminals, got a lot of friends on your side
But you only tell them half the story
'Cause when you're feeling lonely, you tell me I'm the love of your life


My world's up in flames
You're the cause of my pain
But baby, you're the only one
That can take it away


I'm addicted to everything you say
And I want more of you when you're away
Gotta take my prescription, I need you every day
Just a bit to take the edge away, Novocaine


Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, Novocaine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, Novocaine


I'm no criminal, you are just cynical
Fuck you and all of your lies
'Cause you gaslight me then you're up at 3: 00
Askin' if I wanna get high, ooh-woah-oh
You might also like
My world's up in flames
You're the drugs in my veins
'Cause baby, you're the only one
That can love me this way


I'm addicted to everything you say
And I want more of you when you're away
Gotta take my prescription, I need you every day
Just a bit to take the edge away, Novocaine


Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, Novocaine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, Novocaine


One by one, I take your love like pills that I can swallow, Novocaine
One by one, I take your love like pills out of a bottle, Novocaine
