History
Novation Companies, Inc., (NOVC) was founded as NovaStar Financial, Inc., a Kansas City-based residential mortgage company, in 1996. Through its subsidiaries, NovaStar Mortgage, Inc., and NovaStar Home Mortgage, Inc., it originated, securitized and serviced residential loans.
During a 10-year period, NovaStar Mortgage originated more than $40 billion in mortgage loans and NovaStar Home had more than 400 branches located nationwide. The fast and significant success took the company to nearly 5,000 employees at one point. The company went public a mere 10 months after opening its doors.
From 2003 to 2006, the total number of subprime loans issued in the U.S. increased by 17 percent. However, NovaStar’s business model proved unsustainable for the long term as more and more people defaulted on loans. NovaStar's business model is considered one of the primary factors that led to the credit crisis of 2008.

by: Novastarwhat have you done
putting aside all I feel
driving me out your hand on the wheel
I'm only your friend when you depend upon me
taking your time to get back on your feet
I don't mind if lies keep talking
never back down it hurts me so much
I don't mind this I'm glad to leave the earth
it haunts me never back down
get it back
what have you done
putting aside what's real
driving me out your hand on the wheel
I'm blaming myself as if nobody else is to blame
taking your time to get back to your game
I don't mind if lies keep talking
never back down it hurts me so much
I don't mind this I'm glad to leave the earth
it haunts me never back down never back down
get it back
just give me back love now
give me my love now
just give me back love now
give me my love now
never back down
lies keep talking
you never back down
hurts me so much
never back down
glad to leave the earth
haunts me
never back down
hurts me
but you never back down
hurts me
get it by
hurts me
you get it by
hurts me
for love, love
for love, love
never back down
glad to leave the earth
haunts me
never back down
hurts me
never back down
hurts me
just get it back
