Numb

Enough hurting caused in my empty heart
Makes it so clear we're drifting and falling apart
The silent ignorance of you is cold as your touch
Missing your smiles and laughs that I haven't heard much

When I've been with you for 16 years
Being alone again is my biggest fear
Watching you fall asleep at the very edge of the bed
A kiss and "good night honey" is never said

When I get close, you avoid me and go away
When we're together you have nothing to say
When I'm crying, you pretend you don't hear me
You have the most beautiful eyes, but why can't you see?

What ever happend to the happy Mays
Our anniversary and the golden days
You don't even rember my birthday anymore
I don't know what we are together for

As this feeling continued, several months has passed
Sometimes I look to the past
Aching feelings used to overwhelm me but nothing to me now
So sad to realize I'm actually living with this somehow

Why can't I get through it if I can't feel it?
So many broken pieces of feelings and emotion that don't fit
So tell me baby, why are we together?
Maybe breaking away is better
I want to feel something again
And escape from the numb and the pain...
