  • I feel so numb
    Staring at the shower wall
    It's begun,
    The feeling that the end has come
    And now the water's cold

    I tried to eat today
    But the lump in my throat got in the way

    In this time I've lost all sense of pride
    I've called a hundred times
    If I hear your voice I'll be fine

    And I, I can't come alive
    I want the room to take me under
    'Cause I can't help but wonder
    What if I had one more night for goodbye?
    If you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
    These four walls and me

    I lay in bed
    Can't seem to leave your side
    Your pillow's wet
    From all these tears I've cried
    I won't say goodbye

    I tried to smile today
    Then I realized there's no point anyway

    In this time I've lost all sense of pride
    I've called a thousand times
    If I hear your voice I'll be fine

    And I, I can't come alive
    I want the room to take me under
    'Cause I can't help but wonder
    What if I had one more night for goodbye?
    If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
    These four walls and me

    Oh oh oh

    And I, I can't come alive
    I want the room to take me under
    'Cause I can't help but wonder
    What if I had one more night for goodbye?
    If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
