I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away, because there must be more than this
Those countless times I gave up all hope Because I couldn’t change what’s behind me I hid inside my shell from the world Out of sight, tucked away so that no one could see
Once again I feel all of the pain rise inside Rushing back to me like an unstoppable tide I don’t need the warmth, and no, I don’t need the pain I’m fine without this thing called “love”
I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky
Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink My heart and soul succumb to the fall I try to scream but there’s no sound So I accept I won’t be found But then I hear your voice calling I’m no longer falling but rising up as you pull me to the light
The world I knew, once quiet and grey Began to change when you looked my way I thought sure my heart wouldn’t heal But I guess, you have made the impossible real
Look me in the eyes and make my heart skip a beat Fill my world with my world with color and set my spirit free I was never falling – I was swept off my feet The very moment you reached me
I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart And find the strength to heal what’s inside So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky
Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink But now I know you’re there if I fall I’ll show the darkness I can fight And when I’m lost, you’ll be the light So now there’s no hesitating I’m tired of waiting to turn the page and to find out what’s to come
I always treasure our time together, these golden memories When I was falling and you were calling, I heard a knock on the door Through all the pain I’ve overcome, I’ll take a step out of my shell I’ve waited all this time to turn the page And now I’ll finally blink away what held me back in the past, I swear!
I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky This oath will never die, my tears have dried I’ll never let my life slip on by because I know there’s more than this And if I only have one wish I pray the chapter that follows will lead to tomorrow So I will see what the future holds for me
