Numb

Verse 1:
Drove by your house today
Could hardly see through the pouring rain
Strangling the steering wheel
Can’t choke the way I feel
Got the music cranked up high
It can’t drown out your voice in my mind
Staring in the rear view mirror
Guess we weren’t as close as it appears

Pre-chorus:
You have turned to stone
You unplugged the phone
Is there any chance for
You to ever take yes for an answer

Chorus:
I can’t get your face out of my head
But you’ve gone dead
You said I was the one, but when I fell
you went numb

Verse:
Wrote a letter that I cannot send
Tear it up and start again
An empty echo in the room
I’m thinking of that afternoon
You said it was a matter of time
That this was something that we couldn’t deny
You had to have the best of me
Did I fulfill your fantasy?

Pre-Chorus:
All the things you said
What we could do instead
Your voice on my machine
Should I just erase this thing?

Chorus
Bridge:
I can keep remembering to forget
Burn holes in your letters with cigarettes
Wash your number from my hands
But your fingerprints still burn my skin

Chorus
