Numb

 

The tears have dried

I have no more left to cry

I'm numb

Feeling a bit dumb as well

 

For letting you get to me

Letting you creep into my heart a little

I'm not in love

But perhaps I was starting to get attached...

 

So quickly?

So easily?

Yeah I'm a sucker like that...

 

In my defense you did say all the right things...

 

Your expert lips... And warm embrace taunt me when I know I should stay away

 

You're no good for me...

And yet I can't stay away...
