Numb
Fame On Fire Lyrics

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I am exhausted of trying to be someone you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I feel hopeless and disoriented, buried deep under my inner struggles

Don't know what you're expecting of me
I am unsure of your expectations from me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
I am constantly burdened with the pressure of living up to your ideals

Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
I feel trapped in a situation where I have no control

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
It seems like every action I take disappoints you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I have become so detached from my surroundings that I cannot sense your presence

Become so tired, so much more aware
I am now drained and more conscious of my own emotions and needs

I'm becoming this, all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
I am transforming into someone who wants to break free from being a person you want me to be and embrace my true self

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
I feel suffocated by your constant demands and expectations

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
Are you holding onto me too tightly because you fear losing control?

And every second I waste is more than I can take
Each passing moment of my life that I waste trying to please you is unbearable

And I know, I may end up failing too
I understand that I may fail to live up to my expectations as well

But I know, you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I realize that you too were once like me, trying to live up to someone's expectations, and that person was disappointed in you
