Numb Lyrics
Numb"
I'm tired of being what you want me to beFeeling so faithless, lost under the surfaceDon't know what you're expecting of mePut under the pressure of walking in your shoes(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)Every step that I take is another mistake to you(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you thereBecome so tired, so much more awareI'm becoming this, all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me,Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?'Cause everything that you thought I would beHas fallen apart right in front of you.(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)Every step that I take is another mistake to you.(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)And every second I waste is more than I can take.
[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,Become so tired, so much more awareI'm becoming this, all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you.
And I knowI may end up failing too.
But I knowYou were just like me with someone disappointed in you.
[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,Become so tired, so much more aware.I'm becoming this, all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you.
[Chorus:]I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
