Numb

from Pretty by David Owens

/

lyrics

From the red bar, to the red couch
Her little red heart fell out
She don't believe in Gods
That make her pray
I sold her my old
Little black soul
For a big pot of gold
She was saving for
A rainy day
She told me her love
Isn't enough
We should be made of thicker stuff
So she threw it all
She threw it all away
I said take my hand
We'll make a stand
Tomorrow we'll leave to foreign land
For tonight darling
Please stay

Well she said (oooh)
Won't you call out someone young
Someone young
Someone young
Well she said (oooh)
All the hearts here have gone numb
Have gone numb
Have gone numb

She only feels alive on her knees
Only tells the truth when she's sleeping
Never says goodbye then she leaves
Me with nothing real to believe in
Promise I won't tell them it's you
If the doctor asks why I'm bleeding
Tell them I just fell in too soon
All of these wounds are
From dreaming of you

That night I walked
Home on my own
No coat and shivered to the bone
Just thinking about
The words she said
She said it's not all
All it seems
We're just two lovers
In a caffeine dream oh
Go back to bed

Well she said (oooh)
No-one wants to be alone
(ooh)
All the hearts here have gone numb


She only feels alive on her knees
Only tells the truth when she's sleeping
Never says goodbye then she leaves
Me with nothing real to believe in
Promise I won't tell them it's you
If the doctor asks why I'm bleeding
Tell them I just fell in too soon
All of these wounds are
From dreaming of you
