NUMB
Ryan Oakes Lyrics

Hey! I'm talkin' to you pay attention
I am trying to get your attention and make you listen to me.

The tension is building aggression
The situation is becoming more and more tense and aggressive.

I'm askin' these questions and you keep me guessin'
I keep asking you questions but you are not giving me clear answers, which is making me confused and worried.

I guess that I'll stress til your breath is confession
I will keep stressing and pressuring you until you finally admit the truth.

You never did mention the fact, that you would run and react
You never told me that you would run away and react negatively when I told you I love you.

The second I told you I love you
As soon as I confessed my love to you.

Put nothing above you, no you should of kept intact but you let me collapse
I prioritized you and gave you my all, but you did not reciprocate and instead caused my downfall.

What happened to "Oh, I'm sitting here broke. Like everything that I've been livin's a joke. How can I cope when I need you the most?"
What happened to the promise you made to be there for me when I am feeling broken and helpless?

I won't be okay but I'll never be told by you.
I am not okay, but I refuse to let you be the one to tell me that.

Damn, that shits sad. I'm thinkin' bout everything
This situation is really sad and it's making me think about everything that has happened.

We coulda' had. You promised to fight through the bad
We had the potential to have something great, but you did not keep your promise to stick by me through the tough times.

Now look where we're at.
Now we are in a bad place.

I guess that I'll go and I'll pack my bags.
I have decided to leave and pack my bags.

And everytime I try to fall in love I swear to God
Every time I attempt to love someone, I always end up feeling numb and disconnected.

I think I'm way too young to feel the way I do
I believe I am too young to be experiencing such intense emotions.

I'm sorry if I'm breaking you
I apologize if my actions or words are hurting you.

I understand if you have had enough.
I understand if you have reached your limit and can no longer handle this situation.

I'm so numb from what's been done
I feel numb and disconnected because of what has happened.

They start to care and then I run
Whenever someone starts to care about me, I feel scared and run away.

I'm terrified of everything I've become
I am scared of who I have become because of these experiences.

See, I've got these feelings deep inside of me that always
I have intense feelings that are always present inside of me.

End up hiding me the second that I start to fall in love.
Whenever I start to fall in love, these feelings end up hiding who I truly am.

I'm sorry for showin up late with late notice,
I apologize for showing up late and not giving you much notice.

I'm still feelin hopeless and broken
I still feel like I have no hope and am broken because of what has happened.

I'm hopin that you reconsider the fate you delivered
I am hoping that you reconsider the outcome that you have imposed on us.

I'm bitter and I wan't that option back open
I feel resentful and I want the opportunity to have a different choice available to me.
