"Novocaine" lyrics

I see you holding me, on your guard
Like I'm the enemy in your arms
So, so cold
You keep on telling me it's too hard
It's weighing heavily on your heart
Oh, oh, but you left me in the dark

Now I know
That when I look at you, I lose control
So tell me what it'd take to make you
Hold me like you needed me
But I could never be the peace you need
The peace you need

If you'll be the fire, I'll be the rain
I won't let you burn until the Earth goes up in flames
When you're burning brighter, just say my name
I won't let you hurt, I'll be the cure to kill the pain
I'll be your novocaine
I'll be your novocaine

So tell me, what's the remedy to your heart?
I lead with empathy, I leave scarred
When I speak, you disregard
But I take you as you are

So speak the elegy, leave your mark
I'll sing the melody, a few bars
I'll be your northern star
Anywhere you are

If you'll be the fire, I'll be the rain
I won't let you burn until the Earth goes up in flames
When you're burning brighter, just say my name
I won't let you hurt, I'll be the cure to kill the pain
I'll be your novocaine
I'll be your novocaine

Now I know
That when I look at you I lose control
So tell me what it'd take to make you

Hold me like you needed me
But I could never be the peace you need
The peace you need

If you'll be the fire, I'll be the rain
I won't let you burn until the Earth goes up in flames
When you're burning brighter, just say my name
I won't let you hurt, I'll be the cure to kill the pain
I'll be your novocaine
I'll be your novocaine

You were the fire I can't contain
So strike the matches, spread the ashes at my feet
I'll be your novocaine
