I see a man in the mirror, I see a blurred out figure
I used to look so different, I guess the time is a killer
I seen a saint turn sinner, I seen a man get bitter
Once or twice, how could this have happened?
I'm feeling abandoned, I'm breaking up
But I'm done with thinking about it, but my heart won't allow it
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
To all the pain that has bound me, cause it's all around me
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
I feel the walls, can't it stay?
I'm feeling thicker, while my strain's getting thinner
Oh, I've never been a quitter, or ever want to give up, no
But now I'm running like a river, I'm running like a river, yeah
Yeah, cause I'm done with thinking about it, but my heart won't allow it
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
To all the pain that has bound me, cause it's all around me
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
Won't somebody take this pain, and make it all just go away?
I don't care if I'm left with nothing, cause every day repeats the same
It's on my mind all over again
And I'm done with thinking about it, but my heart won't allow it
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
To all the pain that has bound me, cause it's all around me
I'd rather be numb, I'd rather be numb
I'd rather be numb
Ooh, I wish I was numb
I wish I was, I wish I was numb
