Uncomfortably Numb
Graveyard Lyrics

I wasn't there when you needed me
I failed to show up when you were in need.

You never let me in your life
You never allowed me to be a meaningful part of your life.

I didn't say what bothered me
I kept my grievances unvoiced and to myself.

You sure said more than that
You, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to voice your own grievances.

The silence that followed didn't do us any good
Our silence only added to the existing communication deficit and worsened our problem.

And it seems like you settled for me
You ended up choosing me as a partner, perhaps because I was the best of what was available to you.

Cause I was the best that you could get
I was probably the most suitable or eligible option for you to choose from.

But there wasn't enough
Unfortunately, our compatibility and shared interests were not enough to make our relationship work.

I know what you want and you're not the one for me
I have come to realise that you are not the right fit for me, despite knowing what you desire or long for in a relationship.

I've been leaving you since the day we met
I've been slowly distancing myself from you for as long as I can recall, essentially since our very first encounter.

And it feels like you have too
It seems to me that you've also been drifting away from me in parallel all this time.

I remember when I met you
I have fond memories of our initial meeting or the early days of our relationship.

The day I saw your smile
I have a specific recollection of being struck by your smile and how it made me feel at our first meeting.

And now it's time to let go, oh, it's time to feel alive
It's time for us to release each other and to start anew. This will allow me to feel vibrant and alive once more.

The problems I had with you
The issues that I had with you were likely reciprocated from your end.

Are the ones you had with me
The very same problems that I brought to our relationship were mirrored back by you.

Even though we were holding love
Despite both of us having feelings of love towards one another,

We both know we drifted apart
We acknowledge that we have been moving away from each other and the love we once shared.

I guess this is it - why bother when there's nothing left
Given that we see that our relationship is going nowhere, it's only logical that we should end things now.

When neither you nor me are here
When we are both distancing ourselves or have already done so,

Growing bitter and uncomfortably numb
Our connection has grown tense, bitter, and uncomfortably numb due to our problems.

Losing what we had
We are losing the bond we shared between us.

At least we tried but it wasn't meant to be
Despite our best attempts, it's clear now that we were not meant to be together in the long run.

The reasons that I loved you
The very things I loved about you — your traits, characteristics, and overall presence.

Are the ones that made me go
Ironically, the very same reasons that attracted me to you caused me to part ways with you.

Oh, I've got to let you low, know?
I have to let you know why I have chosen to part ways with you.

I should have seen it coming, should have known what to expect
I should have anticipated that things were not working out in the long term and, therefore, should have cut things short by realizing what was about to happen.

I should have seen the signs, should have known that it was wrong
I should have noticed the cues indicating that something was not right, as well as the belief that what we had shared was wrong.

I am sorry that we got here
I am apologetic to have led things to this point, where the only option left is to end things.

But I'm glad, glad that we are done
I am ultimately happy that we have finally parted ways, despite the sadness it has brought us.

I don't wanna go back there
I don't have any intentions to rekindle the love I had with you and go back there.

Cause the love I felt is gone
The love I had for you had disappeared and for that reason alone, I do not regret our separation.
