[Verse 1]
I saw you slide through the cracks
I heard the same old story back
Told me tears were the truth
I gave you trust, gave you proof
You swore it was a one-time slip
I kissed the bruise on your lip
I let the past stay buried
Thought that love still carried
I was dumb, I was kind
You had me losing my mind
I bent my spine for your peace
You fed me lies to keep me on lease
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know that look too well
Same sweet mouth, same private hell
You took my heart, then took my name
Took the good and left the shame
[Chorus]
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
You broke me open, then you laughed at it
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
I forgave you once, you did it again
[Verse 2]
You made me cold in my own skin
I don’t like who I’ve been
Snapping at mirrors, fists on walls
Answering ghosts in the halls
I lost my laugh, lost my sleep
Kept your secrets way too deep
Every “sorry” turned to dust
Every promise turned to rust
I watched me turn mean, turn hard
Like a dog that guards its yard
That ain’t love, that’s damage
That ain’t healing, that’s sabotage
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know that look too well
Same sweet mouth, same private hell
You took my heart, then took my name
Took the good and left the shame
[Chorus]
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
You broke me open, then you laughed at it
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
I forgave you once, you did it again
[Bridge]
I gave you second chances
You gave me second damage
Now I can’t unlearn this
How you turn love into a furnace
I’m not the boy you molded
I’m the mess you left me holding
Say my name, I won’t answer
I’m done being your disaster
[Final Chorus]
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
You broke me open, then you laughed at it
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
I forgave you once, you did it again
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
I got my heart, I’m taking it back
Where the numb started
Where the numb started
You made me numb, now I’m cutting through that
