​kinda numb Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Not gonna lie, my chest is tighter than before
Yeah, it was me, but why am I lying on the floor?
I never thought I'd be the one to give it up
But then I felt too much then didn’t feel enough

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that my head's been racing
I don't do well with replacing
Kinda jealous, kinda faking all
And the thought of you with someone else
Made me wanna prove myself
By putting up another stupid wall

[Chorus]
So I’m sorry if I'm kinda mad
It's maybe 'cause I cared
I thought it wouldn't hurt me bad
But maybe I was scared
And I've been doing bigger things
But you're still everywhere
It's not fair

[Refrain]
Something ’bout you makes me go insane
And there’s something making that okay
Yeah I know I shouldn't feel this way
But maybe you feel the same?
[Verse 2]
Not gonna lie, I know that I messed it all up
I should have tried but I find it so hard to trust
So many lies, I guess I’ve gotten sorta numb
Wish I could explain why my heart's been acting dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that my head's been racing
I don't do well with replacing
Kinda jealous, kinda faking all
And the thought of you with someone else
Made me wanna prove myself
By putting up another stupid wall

[Chorus]
So I’m sorry if I'm kinda mad
It's maybe 'cause I cared
I thought it wouldn't hurt me bad
But maybe I was scared
And I've been doing bigger things
But you're still everywhere
It's not fair

[Outro]
Something bout you makes me go insane
And there's something making that okay
Yeah I know I shouldn't feel this way
But maybe you feel the same?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

My annotation of this song is that Tate has ended a relationship with someone that she didn’t think she would ever end it with. So she puts on a front to hide her pain but really she feels terrible. This person stays on her mind no matter what she does and she keeps trying to tell herself that she’s better now even though she really doesn’t feel that way. She’s holding on to hope that maybe this person will come back into her life but I believe at the same time she just wants to move on.
