Intro: [U-SIF]
Yeah uh
Flowers die. eventually
Chapter 7. die with ease
Cause people don’t abandon
The ones that they love
They only abandon
The ones they’ve used up

Verse #1: [U-SIF]
Tried to hide, who u were
I was hurt, did the same
Tried to fight, out the words
I was cursed, filled with shame
Never healed what hurt you
So you bled on… you and I
Never even cut you
I was lead on… do or die
Sticking to the script
We were ticking off shit
Just to get it over with
I feel free, and I’ve found peace
When I’m not with her
Had to let go and let the flower wither (go)
So we could love each other…
And love ourselves. (love ourselves)
We could never really reach each other
We could never really see the other
Playing our parts in the shadows
Taking a breath before we call
Saying we hate being apart for hours
And go back to not talking at all
Did we ever love at all?
Did we ever trust at all?
We burned out
I was afraid of the fall
Turns out
I never knew you at all...

Hook: [U-SIF + Reyhaneh]
Feeling so numb (feeling so numb)
And I don’t know where to go
And I don’t know how she got me
Feeling so numb (feeling so numb)

Verse #2: [U-SIF]
Now I can’t even ride the subway
Without feeling some type of way
Remember the seats we sat in
At the back, giggling and laughing
Used to sit alone
Feeling defeated & uncared
Now I sit with myself
Resting my feet on ur chair
Let out those tears of truth
And I can finally see u
“Hey, it’s been a while
Where have u been?
You were hiding behind that smile
Hiding behind that grin
Cause you didn’t wanna hurt me?”
Wish you would’ve told me a while back
Girl wouldn’t be the first time
But the last time… (but the last time)
(Feeling so numb)
Different love languages
We were lost in translation
Lost in anguish and hurt
Time for the transformation
We were on two different roads
But we got the same destination
See you on the other side
That was our proclamation

Voicemail Interlude: [Maryam Hassan]
Trauma does not excuse one’s actions, it explains it…

Hook: [U-SIF + Reyhaneh]
Feeling so numb (feeling so numb)
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know how she got me
Feeling so numb (feeling so numb)
Feelin' Feelin'
Feelin' Feelin'
Feelin' Feelin' so numb
Feelin' Feelin'
Feelin' Feelin'
Feelin' Feelin' so numb

Outro: [Maryam Hassan]
Trauma does not excuse one's actions
