Numb
Numb from heartache
Numb from pain
Numb from anything to keep me sane
Numb in my soul
Numb in my heart
Numbness is the only way I won't fall apart
They gave me pills, said they'll help
Help you from numbness they said
Help you to arouse from your bed
Said they'd work wonderfully
Apparently it's not the same for me
Lost in the shadows
Lost in the lies
Lost in the echoes of my cries
I'd give anything to be happy
But not too close to being sappy
To laugh To love To smile
Some things I haven't done in awhile
No understanding from all to some
No one understands that I am completely numb
