Lyrics

Back to the city where everyone hurts me
Where nobody loves me for me
Nobody cares how much I hurt, they just want what I got
And I don't have a lot, they sucked it the fuck out of me
I've been afraid to be myself again
'Cause I've let too many evil rapist demons in, yeah
It be your own friends, don't trust nobody
Don't even feel like I'm still in my body
I don't wanna feel anymore
I'd rather be numb
I'd rather be dumb
I'd rather be free, I'd rather rest in peace
I've been ready to die, I'm begging on my knees
Want love but I'll never find it
I just pretend like I don't mind it
The only time I let somebody in
They hurt me again
[Instrumental]
There's a little heart and it wants to live
There's a little part that thinks it should be him
There's a little part that thinks it should be him
I don't wanna feel anymore
I'd rather be numb
I'd rather be dumb
I'd rather be free, I'd rather rest in peace
I've been ready to die, I'm begging on my knees
Just want love but I'll never find it
I just pretend like I don't mind it
The only time I let somebody in
They hurt me again
