Numb

"Numb" is about a deep platonic friendship, the kind that in some ways is more intense that any romantic relationship. "i feel everything four million times more than anyone else- Very, very sensitive," admits ghost, as she reveals the personal story behind "numb." "it's all about not wanting to feel what I felt, wanting to anesthetize myself to the re Nship. but the irony is that I did [feel it], of course, otherwise I wouldn't have written the song. when you're going out with someone and it's not working out, you're like, 'okay, finished, ov T's gone.' with friendships, you can't do that, you can't just go, 'it's over, it's finished.' you always just have to keep working on it. the person I wrote that about is the person I love most He world. I love him more than anyone in my life, any lover I've ever had. they bring great things to you, but for every luxury, there's a heartache, there's a price to pay." I didn't notice you Didn't have a point of view All the things that mattered then Only really hit me when I saw that inside you were scared Lying on a bed of nails Build me up to watch me fail All the ones that went before Never really wanted more than you were not willing to give Chorus I'm falling down Can't see the truth I know the hell that you've been through I'm falling out of love with you But I'll find defences I'll try to care less Won't someone help me feel numb Felt the sting of acid rain Sweet messiah come again sitting on my pedestal I never really felt at all that I'm the same person as you I'm falling down Can't see the truth I know the hell that you've been through I'm walking side by side with you But I'll find defences I'll try to care less Won't someone help me feel numb I'll find defences I'll try to care less Won't someone help me feel numb
