Numb
Nick Jona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta be a numb to miss you like that
Lift me up, let me to fall
Fuck with my head like it's nothing at all
You were my sun, you were my air
I was your best, and you were my first
Breaking my heart one wish at a time
Well here's a piece of my mind, yeah
You don't know what it is that you do to me
Yeah, you steal my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is fighting
Now you've got some substitute for me,
But he's not the one!
You don't know what it is that you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
Yeah, you leave me numb
Numb
Losing my mind, losing control
Swallow my pride, you swallow me up
Smile on my face to cover my hurt,
Spend so much time, but what was I worth
I'm broken-heart, I'm saving it up
Crossin' in my hand, mistaken for love
Nails in my bag, they don't mean a thing
They ain't yours, they ain't yours!
You don't know what it is that you do to me
Yeah, you steal my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is fighting
Now you've got some substitute for me,
But he's not the one!
You don't know what it you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
Numb
Yeah, you leave me numb (numb)
Numb
You leave me
I got trapped off in a blackbox lit from the matchbox of your rage
You say we are mildly players, who's still act off of the stage
I kept begging you to stay like "Baby, please don't leave me"
"Know you don't like fall but what's one more season?
And I dream on, you gettin' your plot and your scheme on
And I just be here with my theme song
He love me, he love me, no he don't
'Cause you make me feel like the night before Christmas
Love is a crime and I'm stuck in your prison
Far as you want, baby I'll go the distance
If you're numb and I'm numb, then what is we're feeling?!
You don't know what it is that you do to me
Yeah, you steal my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is fighting
Now you've got some substitute for me,
But he's not the one!
You don't know what it you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
Numb
Yeah, you leave me numb
Numb
Yeah you leave me numb
The song "Numb" by Nick Jonas presents the experience of heartbreak and the feeling of being emotionally disconnected after a failed relationship. The first verse implies that the singer is frustrated with himself for still missing his ex-partner after some time has passed. He describes his former lover as someone who messed with his head and broke his heart "one wish at a time." Despite the pain, the singer's heart is fighting and cannot move on. The chorus emphasizes the emotional numbness that he experiences as a result of the heartbreak. He feels that his heart has been stolen, leaving him with a hole that cannot be filled by anyone else. Although his ex-partner has moved on with a substitute, the singer knows deep down that this person is not the same.
In the second verse, he describes the feeling of losing control and swallowing his pride in the hope of getting his ex-partner back. He wishes he could have been worth more in their relationship and saves the broken pieces heart. The bridge talks about the feelings of being trapped and begging his ex-partner to stay. He contemplates on his feelings, but it does not matter as his ex-partner has moved on with someone else. The singer realizes that his ex-partner's behavior has left him feeling emotionally numb, and this situation has left him wondering if their feelings together were ever real.

This is so dumb, this is so bad
I can't believe I let myself feel this way about you
Gotta be a numb to miss you like that
I'm so emotionally drained from missing you that I feel numb
Lift me up, let me to fall
You lift me up only to let me fall again
Fuck with my head like it's nothing at all
You mess with my mind and emotions easily
You were my sun, you were my air
You were my everything
I was your best, and you were my first
We had a special connection from the beginning
Breaking my heart one wish at a time
You're slowly breaking my heart with each wish unfulfilled
Well here's a piece of my mind, yeah
I need to tell you how I really feel
You don't know what it is that you do to me
You have no idea how much you affect me
Yeah, you steal my heart
You have my heart completely
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
I feel so empty without you
And my heart is fighting
My heart is struggling to move on
Now you've got some substitute for me,
You've replaced me with someone else
But he's not the one!
He can never replace what we had
Numb
I feel nothing from all of this emotional turmoil
Losing my mind, losing control
I'm going crazy without you and losing control of my emotions
Swallow my pride, you swallow me up
I'm willing to do anything to have you back, even if it means losing my pride
Smile on my face to cover my hurt,
I pretend to be happy to hide my pain
Spend so much time, but what was I worth
I invested so much time and effort into this relationship, but it feels like it wasn't worth it
I'm broken-heart, I'm saving it up
My heart is shattered, but I'm keeping it all inside
Crossin' in my hand, mistaken for love
I held onto something that I thought was love, but it was just a mistake
Nails in my bag, they don't mean a thing
I have memories of you, but they don't hold any significance anymore
They ain't yours, they ain't yours!
Those memories are mine now, you can't take them away
I got trapped off in a blackbox lit from the matchbox of your rage
I'm stuck in a dark place because of your anger
You say we are mildly players, who's still act off of the stage
You think our relationship was just a game, but there are real emotions at stake
I kept begging you to stay like "Baby, please don't leave me"
I begged you to stay, hoping you would change your mind
"Know you don't like fall but what's one more season?
You don't like change or endings, but can't we try one more time?
And I dream on, you gettin' your plot and your scheme on
I have hope for us, but you're just planning your next move
And I just be here with my theme song
I'm stuck in the same place, listening to the same sad song
He love me, he love me, no he don't
I'm fooled into thinking someone else loves me, but the truth is they don't
'Cause you make me feel like the night before Christmas
I'm anxious and excited at the thought of being with you, but it's always disappointing
Love is a crime and I'm stuck in your prison
Our love is toxic and I feel trapped by it
Far as you want, baby I'll go the distance
I'm willing to do anything for you, even if it means going the distance
If you're numb and I'm numb, then what is we're feeling?!
If we're both numb, then what is this relationship even about?

This is so dumb, this is so bad
Gotta be numb to miss you like that
Lifting me up, letting me fall
Fuck with my head, like it's nothing at all
You were my sun, you were my Earth
I was your best, and you were my worst
Breaking my heart one piece at a time
Well here's a piece of my mind, yeah
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And the hardest part is
Now you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you leave me numb
Yeah you leave me numb, numb
Losing my mind, losing control
Swallow my pride, you swallow me whole
Smile on my face, to cover my hurt
Spent so much time but what was I worth
Unbroken heart, I'm taping it up
Cross in my hand, mistaken for love
Nails in my back that don't mean a thing
They ain't yours, they ain't yours
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And the hardest part is
Now you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you leave me numb, numb
Yeah you leave me numb, numb
[Angel Haze:]
Numb
I got trapped off in a black box
Lit from the matchbox in your rage
You said we are a merely players
Who still act off of the stage
I kept begging you to stay like "Baby, please don't leave me.
Know you don't like fall but what's one more season?"
And I dream on you getting your plot and your scheme on
And I just be here with my theme song
He love me he love me no he don't
Cause you made me feel like the night before Christmas
Love is a crime and I'm stuck in your prison
Far as you want, baby, I go the distance
If you numb and I'm numb then what is we feeling?
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And the hardest part is
Now you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you leave me numb, numb
Yeah you leave me numb, numb

Pues a mi la verdad es que esta canción me ha sorprendido porque no tiene nada que ver con lo que nos ha acostumbrado durante años, junto a sus hermanos y ahora en solitario. Le doy un 10 a esta canción. Sinceramente no sé cuantas veces la he escuchado ya, porque me encanta y demasiado, al igual que sus otras dos canciones, "Chains" y "Jealous". Espero que el disco que va a sacar sea tan bueno como estas canciones que nos ofrece y que nos sorprenda.
