I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart 
Against the pain and take it away 
Because there must be more than this 

Those countless times I gave up all hope 
Because I couldn’t change what’s behind me 
I hid inside my shell from the world 
Out of sight, tucked away so that no one could see 

Once again I feel all of the pain rise inside [bad word] back to me like an unstoppable tide 
I don’t need the warmth, and no, I don’t need the pain 
I’m fine without this thing called “love” 

I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart 
Against the pain and take it away 
So I can [bad word] the dark 
Just like a shooting star in the sky 

Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink 
My heart and soul succumb to the fall 
I try to scream but there’s no sound 
So I accept I won’t be found 
But then I hear your voice calling 
I’m no longer falling but rising up 
As you pull me to the light 

The world I knew, once quiet and grey 
Began to change when you looked my way 
I thought sure my heart wouldn’t heal 
But I guess, you have made the impossible real 

Look me in the eyes and make my heart skip a beat 
Fill my world with my world with color and set my spirit free 
I was never falling – I was swept off my feet 
The very moment you reached me 

I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart 
And find the strength to heal what’s inside 
So I can [bad word] the dark 
Just like a shooting star in the sky 

Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink 
But now I know you’re there if I fall 
I’ll show the darkness I can fight 
And when I’m lost, you’ll be the light 
So now there’s no hesitating 
I’m tired of waiting to turn the page 
And to find out what’s [bad word] 

I always treasure our time together, these golden memories 
When I was falling and you were calling, I heard a knock on the door 
Through all the pain I’ve [bad word] 
I’ll take a step out of my shell 
I’ve waited all this time to turn the page 
And now I’ll finally blink away what held me back in the past, I swear! 

I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart 
Against the pain and take it away 
So I can [bad word] the dark 
Just like a shooting star in the sky 
This oath will never die, my tears have dried 
I’ll never let my life slip on by 
Because I know there’s more than this 
And if I only have one wish 
I pray the chapter that follows will lead to tomorrow 
So I will see what the future holds for me
