We could be pirates or go somewhere private 
I don’t wanna make a scene I just wanna leave 
And head back to your place cause I got a roommate 
And he don’t wanna hear or see what you’re doing to me 

I’ll [bad word] back 
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse 
I’ll [bad word] back 
Numb’s no good 
But it sure beats the hurt 

Can’t say what’s inside me or when you might find me 
Lying with my face down in the dirt like I never learned how 
To stand on my own feet or make a recovery 
If there is a right time darling well it’s never been now 

I’ll [bad word] back 
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse 
I’ll [bad word] back 
Numb’s no good 
But it sure beats the hurt 

What you don’t know can’t do no damage 
What you can’t see won’t be the thing 
That digs its teeth in 

So pull to the shoulder tell me it’s over 
Saying that you’re oh so glad we met but you’d rather just stop now than regret 
Said you can’t be the one now to clean all my wounds out 
Bandages and nice neat bows? [bad word] no - you have to just go 

I’ll [bad word] back 
You don’t make me better but you don’t make me worse 
I’ll [bad word] back 
Numb’s no good 
But it sure beats the hurt
