[Verse 1]
You made me tough, you made me numb
You are the maker of what I've become
And now I am strong where I was weak
And I am unafraid of being me
So say hello to the monster that you made

[Chorus]
Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate
Thank you for the way that you left me scarred
Thank you for the stain that you left on my brain
Now because of you I've got a heart of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine

[Verse 2]
Once upon a time you had control
And lorded over my poor soul
And I trusted you but now I see
You never knew the real me
And now I'm angry and you wonder why
You see the fire burning in my eyes
Once you had me but you lost me now
And there's no going back
So say hello to the monster that you made

[Chorus]
Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate
Thank you for the way that you left me scarred
Thank you for the stain that you left on my brain
Now because of you I've got a heart of Novocaine
A heart of Novocaine
