I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering mе?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause evеrything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
And every second I waste is more than I can take!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
By becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Numb was written by Linkin Park & Mr. Hahn & Dave Farrell & Rob Bourdon & Brad Delson & Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington.
