Numb - Linkin Park - Lyrics

Another LP song ...slowly i am understanding what alternative rock is all about ..

the following comment by a LP fan fits my thoughts also ...
" this song touches me, like i just don't want to be the person everyone sees anymore. i want to be me. The REAL me. it's just, whenever i show that part of me, people freak. this song encourages me to stop feeling like i'm not good enough and to move on. Away from what other people think. To stop CARING about how everyone esle views you. It's how you view yourself that really matters.

The lyrics flow here .....

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[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]

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.

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
is falling apart right in front of you.

[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'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.

And I know
I may end up failing too

But I know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you.


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.

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
[tired of being what you want me to be]
