This feeling claws at my chest

Till it rips my heart out

Till my guts are on the floor

Till I'm numb

Numb

Numb

Till my eyes are cried dry

Till I'm drowning in the ocean I've cried

Lifeless

Floating a float

Till I'm numb

Numb

Numb

(Some people are entirely too desperate to fall in love. Not I. I'm desperate for this feeling to go away.)
