Numb
Carrie Zis 1981 (Narrogin)
How can it hurt so much while I feel so numb
I don’t understand how this I have become
I am trying to hard so fucking it up
Over compensating at every stop
When did I change so much after you
I feel so used completely screwed
I want to be happy
I want to stop the pain
But I am not really there it’s all a Front in vain
How do you still take up so much of my thoughts because I know you will now hate me and my heart hurts
Someone please help me out of this mess
I just want to feel good not like this instead
I wish it was different I wish I could have made you happy
But I am a failure and not enough for you
It breaks my heart everyday to
