Numb

The air is thin and getting thinner everyday
More thoughts, more stories, plenty more to say
Two cents from everyone
So much left undone

Sadness is a part of life, I'm aware
But still I get choked up by a teary stare
I wish that life was easier for her
Wish that hearts were true and pure

When I hear all the ache
When my own heart just breaks
When I can't find happiness
Amongst the bills and the stress
I start to lose faith in days to come
I internalize the feelings, I grow numb

The year is almost over again
Eyes wide open, I know my friends
Laughter is so soothing
An outstretched hand - so moving

Sadness will fill chapters of my book
It's part of life, no one gets off the hook
I wish no one had to suffer the hard blows
But to appreciate the good, that's just the way it goes

When I see sorrow on your face
When you carry yourself with such grace
When I have my own hard pill to swallow
In self pity, there's no need to wallow
I don't beg for anyone's love
I just stop caring so much, I grow numb

Everyone chooses their choices, they create their own life
If my world doesn't fit with yours, well it's all right
It's obvious we're both stubborn with our time
You don't give me yours and I don't give you mine
Your love, I can no longer feed on the crumbs
Who you are to me, doesn't matter, I've grown numb...
