Numb
Never Say Die Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

there's nothing left to say
there's nothing left to feel
blue skies have turned to grey

the skin is cold it's so unreal

when nothing ever kills the pain
you take it all away

i go numb, i go numb
and i can't believe what i've become
i go numb, i go numb
and i know i'm not the only one

that you've thrown away
with a broken heart
i go numb, i go numb
and i can't believe what i've become
numb

all out of blood to bleed
here at the bitter end
our love is atrophied
waiting to come alive again

when nothing ever kills the pain
you take it all away

i go numb, i go numb
and i can't believe what i've become
i go numb, i go numb
and i know i'm not the only one

that you've thrown away
with a broken heart
i go numb, i go numb
and i can't believe what i've become

someday you'll see the truth
it's catching up to you
someday you'll feel it too
as broken as i do, as broken as i do

i go numb, i go numb
and i can't believe what i've become
i go numb, i go numb
and i know i'm not the only one

that you've thrown away
with a broken heart
i go numb, i go numb




and i can't believe what i've become
numb
