Lyrics
Death isn't as scary as you think
Death is not as frightening as one might perceive.
Love is the thing that makes us weak in the knees
Love has the power to make us emotionally vulnerable.
What it is about falling for someone who doesn't want you back
Reflecting on the experience of falling for someone who doesn't reciprocate the feelings.
What makes us chase the ones who only want some fun
Questioning the motivation behind pursuing those who are only interested in casual enjoyment.
Because they think that you're too fat to bring home to their parents
Addressing the judgmental view some may have about physical appearance affecting relationship acceptance.
I don't like this feeling anymore
Expressing a dislike for the current emotional state.
It's hard to tell what hurts from all the scars
Difficulty distinguishing between emotional pain and the scars left by past experiences.
I want to be be numb numb
Desire to feel emotionally numb.
I'd rather be numb numb
Preferring emotional numbness.
Life is so much better when I'm numb
Believing life is improved when emotions are suppressed.
Oh Oh Oh
Repeating a vocalization, possibly indicating a transition or realization.
Now that I'm numb
Expressing the current emotional state of numbness.
Oh Oh Oh
Repeating a vocalization, reinforcing the theme of numbness.
How do you trust somebody with your heart
Raising the question of trust in relationships and the vulnerability of the heart.
Each time that I try to things just fall apart
Reflecting on failed attempts to trust, resulting in emotional breakdowns.
Wouldn't it be nice if they would sacrifice
Suggesting a desire for a partner who is willing to make sacrifices to demonstrate care.
To show you that they care
Expressing disappointment in the absence of meaningful gestures of care.
Instead I'm left to cry myself to sleep at night
Describing the experience of crying oneself to sleep due to emotional pain.
Then wake up face the world and pretend I'm okay
Confronting the world with a facade of well-being despite internal struggles.
I don't like this feeling anymore
Reiterating a dislike for the current emotional state.
It's hard to tell what hurts from all the scars
Reiteration of the challenge in distinguishing between emotional and physical pain.
I want to be numb numb
Expressing a desire for emotional numbness.
I'd rather be numb numb
Preferring the state of emotional numbness.
Life is so much better when I'm numb
Believing life is improved when emotions are suppressed.
Oh Oh Oh
Repeating a vocalization, emphasizing the current state of numbness.
Now that I'm numb
Confirming the current emotional state of numbness.
Oh Oh Oh
Repeating a vocalization, reinforcing the theme of numbness.
Now that I'm numb
Confirming the sustained emotional state of numbness.
Now that I'm numb
Affirming the present state of emotional numbness.
