Numb
When you've given all that you can
Only to be let down by another man
You question, 'When will things end?'
What ever happened to that person you called a friend?
Somewhere things got mixed up
And feelings started to screw things up
You know that you care for him
But the question becomes, "How much can you care for him?"
You've been broken down so much inside,
That the pain is becoming too much to hide
All you want is for this feeling to go away...
To take back all of your yesterdays.
Will you ever get to realize that chance?
That you once had for a true romance
Just when you thought you'd found 'That One',
You end up alone looking so dumb
Nothing left that can be undone
Just you sitting alone feeling numb...
