N U M B
Love's Cost: Navigating Heartache and Finding Closure in 'N U M B'
Lyrics
Cold, in love
Feeling emotionally distant despite being in love.
Hold, me close, then run
A desire for closeness followed by a retreat or escape.
What do you do to make me want to stay?
Questioning actions that create a longing to remain in a relationship.
When he's there, I have to turn away
Feeling compelled to turn away when the other person is present with someone else.
I want your love, you want my heart
Desire for mutual affection and commitment.
I can't stand the second we're apart
Intolerance of any separation from the loved one.
What will it take, to make you see
Seeking ways to make the other person recognize the speaker's value.
You should be with me
Expressing the belief that being together is the right choice.
Now I'm numb
Feeling emotionally detached and unresponsive.
Were you the one? (you are-are the one)
Questioning if the person was the right match.
If you don't want me back
Accepting the potential absence if not wanted back.
Just let me move on (move on, move on move on)
Requesting permission to move forward emotionally.
I want your love, you want my heart (you you you you, are are are)
Reiterating desires for mutual love and commitment.
I can't stand the second we're apart (the one, the one, the one)
Intolerant of separation, emphasizing the significance of the person.
What will it take, to make you see (you you you you) (move on, move on move on)
Continued effort to make the person understand the importance of being together.
You should be with me (you are-are the one)
Stressing the belief that being together is the right choice.
You gave me hope, I was so lost
Feeling hopeful due to the person's presence in life initially.
I gave my all, but at, what cost
Reflecting on giving everything to the relationship, questioning its worth.
What will it take, to make me see-eeee
Seeking clarity about the situation and one's worth in the relationship.
You don't deserve me
Feeling undervalued and undeserving in the relationship.
Now I'm numb (now I'm numb)
Reiteration of emotional detachment and numbness.
Were you the one? (were you the one?) (you are-are the one)
Questioning again if the person was the right match.
If you don't want me back
Accepting the potential absence if not wanted back.
Just let me move on (move on, move on move on)
Requesting permission to move forward emotionally.
You gave me hope, I was so lost (you you you you, are are are)
Recalling feelings of hopefulness initially in the relationship.
I gave my all, but at what cost (the one, the one, the one)
Reflecting on giving everything to the relationship, questioning its worth.
What will it take, to make me see (you you you you) (move on, move on move on)
Seeking clarity about the situation and one's worth in the relationship.
You don't deserve me (you are-are the one)
Feeling undervalued and undeserving in the relationship.
Tell me the truth
Asking for honesty from the person.
I still love you
Expressing ongoing love despite the situation.
Playing games with my brain
Feeling manipulated or confused by mind games.
Got me going insane, insane ooh
Emphasizing the distress and confusion caused by the situation.
Just leave me alone
Desiring space and solitude from the situation.
I should have known
Regretting not realizing the situation earlier.
You've made a mistake
Recognizing a mistake made by the person.
But is it too late?
Questioning if it's too late to rectify the mistake.
Now I'm numb
Reiteration of emotional detachment and numbness.
Were you the one? (you are-are the one)
Questioning again if the person was the right match.
If you don't want me back
Accepting the potential absence if not wanted back.
Just let me move on (move on, move on move on)
Requesting permission to move forward emotionally.
Now I'm numb (You gave me hope, I was so lost)
Reiteration of feeling hopeful initially in the relationship.
Were you the one? (I gave my all, but at what cost) (the one, the one, the one)
Reflecting on giving everything to the relationship, questioning its worth.
If you don't want me back (What will it take, to make me see) (you you you you) (move on, move on move on)
Seeking clarity about the situation and one's worth in the relationship.
Just let me move on (You don't deserve me) (you are-are the one)
