[Verse 1] You were my secret
Another poison dart right to my temple
And blew the candle out
I lie here broken
You opened up the door and showed me freedom
Another mutilated romance

[Chorus] Like novocaine
You flood my brain and foolish electric heart
If I'm nothing you're it all
My foolish electric heart

[Verse 2] Now tell me something
Where'd you get that scar?
'Cause on the surface it's like a work of art
In New York City you tried to play guitar
Its strings were broken, you tuned it to my heart

[Chorus] Like novocaine
You flood my brain and foolish electric heart
If I'm nothing you're it all
My foolish electric heart

[Bridge] Mutilation for the heart
Mutilation for my soul
Mutilate the one I love, the one I know
Mutilation for one
Mutilation for all
You are my redeemer

[Chorus] Like novocaine
Like novocaine
Like novocaine
If I'm nothing you're it all
My foolish electric heart
My foolish electric heart
Foolish electric heart
If I'm nothing you're it all
My foolish electric heart

[Outro] You were my secret
Another poison dart right to my temple
And blew the candle out
Yeah, I lie here broken
You opened up the door and showed me freedom
For my foolish electric heart
