Playing all these games, man, she thinks that I'm dumb
Used to this heartbreak, she don't know where I'm from
Only want your love, baby, come and give me some
She keep playing with my heart my heart is going numb
Playing all these games, man, she thinks that I'm dumb
Used to this heartbreak, she don't know where I'm from
Only want your love, baby, come and give me some
Callin' and callin', baby, pick up your phone
These drugs call my name if you leave me lone
Bad thoughts in my head, man, yeah, I should've known
You a rose with some thorns, I gotta be cautious
I don't believe in signs, but I'm a cancer and you're Taurus
If I picture you with somebody, I get mad nauseous
Relations not great, not everybody's flawless
She keep playing with my heart my heart is going numb
Playing all these games, man, she thinks that I'm dumb
Used to this heartbreak, she don't know where I'm from
Only want your love, baby, come and give me some
She keep playing with my heart my heart is going numb
Playing all these games, man, she thinks that I'm dumb
Used to this heartbreak, she don't know where I'm from
Only want your love, baby, come and give me some
In "Numb," <3 sings about being emotionally drained and hurt by someone they care about. The lyrics depict a situation where the person they are involved with is playing mind games and manipulating their feelings. The singer expresses feeling numb and emotionally detached due to the constant heartbreak they experience.
The chorus emphasizes the repeated pattern of this person toying with their emotions. Despite being aware of the games being played, the singer struggles to break away from the toxic cycle. They long for love and validation from this person, hoping for some genuine affection.
The second verse expands on the emotional turmoil. The singer mentions the frustration of waiting for a response and feeling ignored. They reach out repeatedly, desperate for connection. The mention of drugs highlights the coping mechanism they turn to when feeling abandoned. The negative thoughts that consume their mind reveal the toll this relationship has taken on their mental health.
The bridge acknowledges the complexities of the person they are involved with. Comparing them to a rose with thorns, the singer describes their cautious approach, recognizing the potential for both beauty and pain. The reference to astrology (being a Cancer and the person being a Taurus) suggests a cosmic incompatibility. Imagining their partner with someone else triggers feelings of jealousy and nausea, revealing the deep emotional investment they have made.
Overall, "Numb" delves into the struggles of navigating a toxic relationship, where heartbreak becomes the norm, and genuine love remains elusive.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
