Numb
Paperback Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care about
All those things you say they put you through
And I, don't wanna hear about you
Don't wanna hear about
Every little single thing you do
You never shut up for a time
Always talking all the time, about you
Don't wanna know about
How I'm wrong and what I've done to you
And I could give a damn about you
Could give a damn about
All your friends and who is doing who
You never shut up for a time
Always talking all the time, about you
Done with you, say what you're going to say
Now I'm done with you
Your words they just get in the way
You make me numb, you make me numb
I, I think it's such a bore
Such a bore that
No one wants to hear you anymore
And I, wish you'd walk out that door
Wish you'd walk out and
Never come around here anymore
You never shut up for a time
Always talking all the time, about you
Done with you, say what you're going to say
Now I'm done with you
Your words they just get in the way
You make me numb, you make me numb
You never shut up for a time
Always squawking all the time
Just shut up for a time
about you
Done with you
Say what you're going to say
Now I'm done with you
Don't hear anything that you say
Done with you
Now I'm done with you
