I see a man in the mirror I see a blurred out figure I used to look so different I guess that time is a killer, huh? I've seen a saint turn sinner I've seen a man get bitter Once or twice How could this've happened I'm feeling abandoned I'm breaking up But I'm done with thinking about it But my heart won't allow it I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb To all the pain that has found me Cos it's all around me I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb I feel the walls getting thicker While my strengths' getting thinner Oh I've never been a quitter Or ever want to give up (nah) But now I'm running like a river I'm running like a river yeah Yeah Cause I'm done with thinking about it But my heart won't allow it I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb To all the pain that has found me Cos it's all around me I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb Numb, numb Won't somebody take this pain And make it all just go away I don't care if I'm left with nothing Cause everyday repeats the same It's on my mind all over again I'm done with thinking about it But my heart won't allow it I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb To all the pain that has found me Cos it's all around me I'd rather be numb I'd rather be numb (I'd rather be numb) Oh I wish I was numb I wish I was I I wish I was numb
