Numb  Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
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
Has fallen 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 (*)

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
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
麻木不仁  聯合公園合唱團

我已厭倦成為你想要的那個人
感到絕望,迷失在表面之下
我不明白你對我有何期望
讓我身處於重蹈你的覆轍的壓力底下
( 深陷暗流之中,受困在暗流之中 )
我踏出的每一步,對你都是另一個錯誤
( 深陷暗流之中,受困在暗流之中 )

我變得麻木不仁
感覺不到你的存在
覺得好累
無法意識到我成了這副模樣
我只想多做一點自己
而少像你一些

你不知道你正在扼殺我嗎?
你握得太緊,害怕失去控制
因為....你認為我該成為的一切
早已在你的面前摔得粉碎
( 深陷暗流之中,受困在暗流之中 )
我踏出的每一步,對你都是另一個錯誤
( 深陷暗流之中,受困在暗流之中 )
我浪費的每一秒都遠超出我的掌控範圍

而我知道
我也可以結束這些挫敗
但我也清楚
和我一樣,也有人對你徹底透頂

我變得麻木不仁
感覺不到你的存在
( 我已厭倦成為你想要的那個人 )
我變得麻木不仁
感覺不到你的存在
( 我已厭倦成為你想要的那個人 )
