The song is "Numb" by Linkin Park
-emphasis- /thoughts/ //song lyrics// ::::::::::
//I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface//
"I don't want you around her!"
"Why not?!"
"Because I just don't!"
That's the way it always is, isn't it? You try to control me. At first it was just little things, like what kind of chicken I ate and such. I thought nothing of it, only believed that you cared for me and wanted me to have the best. Well, you do . . . you've just taken it to far.
//I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes//
"What's wrong with my shirt?"
"It shows too much!"
Then it became worse.
I wasn't allowed to wear certain clothes or jewelry or makeup. Still I thought very little of it, since our styles usually agree, except there were a few arguments.
//Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take
Is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow//
"Why won't you let me go where I want?"
"I don't want you to meet the wrong people!"
Then it was where I went, who I hung out with, which classes I took, when I watched T.V., what books I read. There was nothing that I could do with out your approval.
//I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you//
"Why can't I go? It's not -my- fault you have work!"
"You'll do something stupid!"
I know you were hurt before, but that gives you no excuse over ruling my life. And I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be. I'm not to be pushed into things by anyone. I've always been a rebel. The only reason why I haven't left you yet is because of how much I love you.
//Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause every thing that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you//
I love you so much that I hate you. I can't stand being around you, always controlling me. But I can't stay away because it hurts to much. Living has become hell.
//Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take
Is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take//
I used to be popular, you know. But because of you I have no friends. No one to confide it, not even a goddamn diary.
This has to end.
//And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you//
I'm sorry, love. I promise I'll return. I left you a note on the table. Wait for me, I'll be back. Hopefully you'll have learned your lesson.
//I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you//
