You can take back all your secrets
We´ll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Just cut me out, yeah, I´ll be fine
Tell the neighbors all my feelings

Go on give away my pride
It´s hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night

Keep your rolodex of friends
And all the remnants can be mind
I guess there´ll be no happy endings
When once upon, is doing time
There´s a different kind of meaning now
To livin´ on a prayer
Some don´t seem to notice
And the rest don´t seem to care

I tell myself I (feel no pain)
But I´m feeling the pain (walk away)
Can´t walk away
I´m hanging on the ropes of hope
It´s getting hard to cope you know

When you´re the needle running through my veins
I´ve changed my name to novocaine

You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let´s get this straight)
You burned my favorite sweats from high school
Tried to sell my muscle car (that´s not OK)
Your mother´s gonna visit for a couple of months this year
They say you do the crime, you do the time
It´s all so clear

I tell my self I (feel no pain)
But I´m feeling the pain (walk away)
Can´t walk away
I´m hanging on the ropes of hope
It´s getting hard to cope you know
When you´re the needle that´s running through my veins

I´ve changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain)
Novacaine

Well things ain´t what they used to be
It´s a sleepless, self-help century
I´m up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me?
