Numb

Verse 1
You wrote your name in salt across my skin
Every letter burned, then faded thin
I used to ache and tremble at the sound
Now it’s just an echo with no ground
Pre-Chorus
I kept the lights on, waiting for a spark
But all your storms just taught me to go dark
You taught my heart to outlast every blow
Till every nerve forgot the way to glow
Chorus
You left so many scars on me, the feeling’s gone
No rush of red, no right or wrong
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that chapter’s through
I’m just numb to you
You cut so deep the pain fell through the floor
Now I don’t feel a thing anymore
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that wound is mute
The scars made me numb to you
Verse 2
I tried to strike a match inside the rain
Held on to ashes, called it flame
But every touch returned the same old chill
’Til even silence couldn’t climb the hill
Pre-Chorus
You taught me winter like a second tongue
A quiet house where all the bells are hung
And now your ghost can rattle every room
It only stirs a comfortable gloom
Chorus
You left so many scars on me, the feeling’s gone
No rush of red, no right or wrong
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that chapter’s through
I’m just numb to you
You cut so deep the pain fell through the floor
Now I don’t feel a thing anymore
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that wound is mute
The scars made me numb to you
Bridge
This isn’t vengeance, it’s the quiet tide
The shore washed clean where you used to ride
A museum wing with ropes across the hall
A heart that learned to feel nothing at all
Breakdown
No thunder, no confession in the night
No tremor, no surrender, no more fight
Final Chorus
You left so many scars on me, I’m past the sting
A hollow bell that doesn’t ring
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you—clear and true
I’m just numb to you
You cut so deep the map of me turned blue
And every road leads out from you
I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, it’s cruel and true
The scars made me numb to you
Outro
Not love, not hate—just nothing left to do
The scars made me numb to you. i don't love you i don't think that's true
