Numb doesn't love you pt 2

woke up broken / but still breathing / chasing light / barely seeing

---

Cold sheets, hospital halls, walls echo my mistakes

I taste the bitter medicine of all my past mistakes

Hands reaching out through the haze, I want to pull them close

But my heart’s a hollow drum, beats out of ghost

---

Told myself I’m done running from pain

But every smile feels like a stain

Trying to find a spark inside this dark

Hope’s a fragile flame, but I’m holding on

---

Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here

Fighting through the shadows, drowning all my fear

Pour the light in cracks, let it wash the black

Numb won’t love me back, but maybe I can fight back

---

Empty bottles on the shelf, but I don’t reach tonight

Voices in my head slow down, giving me a little light

Counting scars, not trophies now, learning to forgive

Maybe self-love’s the first step just to live

---

I fell, yeah, I fell hard and fast

But I’m here, learning how to last

One breath, one step, one broken heart

Trying to mend what’s torn apart

---

Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here

Shaking off the silence, wiping away the tears

Pour the light in cracks, chase away the black

Numb won’t love me back, but I’m fighting back

---

Hold on...

Hold on...
