NUMB

[Verse 1] Do you know how to stop the bleeding When it's your heart that is leakin' Right there on your sleeve For everyone to see? Tell me how to stitch up the wound Carved right into your chest The second that he said "I think it's time we laid this love to rest" [Pre-Chorus] My hands are shaking, holding the thread Pacing the floor beside an empty bed I'm trying, God, I'm trying [Chorus] To numb the pain Pouring anything I can over the ache But the ice just turns to stinging And the quiet leaves me reeling Yeah, I'm trying to numb the pain Just to see how much a body can take [Verse 2] I walked out of the room still breathing But I swear my pulse was leaving Left it on the floor Just inside your front door Now I'm buying bandages at midnight Squinting in the pharmacy light Looking for a cure For a sickness that I can't endure [Pre-Chorus] My hands are shaking, dropping the thread Replaying every single word that you said I'm trying, God, I'm trying [Chorus] To numb the pain Pouring anything I can over the ache But the ice just turns to stinging And the quiet leaves me reeling Yeah, I'm trying to numb the pain Just to see how much a body can take [Bridge] They say time is the only thing that works But the clock is dragging through the dirt Every hour is a heavy stone When you're learning how to bleed alone [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And I'm trying to numb the pain Pouring anything I can over the ache But the ice just turns to stinging And the quiet leaves me reeling Yeah, I'm trying to numb the pain Just to see how much a body can take [Outro] Do you know how to stop the bleeding? 'Cause I'm still trying. Yeah, I'm still trying.
