^{Verse 1} Upside down Like a word that's hung to the inside Of an empty promise zip-tied to your mouth Tongue tied now By the weightless shock of a nightfall Looming over you when the lightbulb burns you out ^Pre-Chorus Like a flame You see the face but you can’t remember the name It's a constant state of worn out phrases Do-do, do-do-do ^{Instrumental Break Verse 2} Tip-toe out From the backdoor down to the basement Where your funny faces always made me frown And when I'm down I’ll dance in a fever cold and calm With a sewn on smile and feet swollen and numb ^Pre-Chorus Like a vein You see the face but you can't remember the name It's a constant state of worn out phrases Waiting on the same sum I'm going numb ^Chorus And it doesn't get better it just gets twice as bad because you let it So you better get numb to it, get numb to it, get numb to it No, it doesn't get better it just gets twice as bad because you let it So you better get numb to it, get numb to it, get numb to it And it doesn't get better it just gets twice as bad because you let it So you better get numb to it, get numb to it, get numb to it No, it never gets better it just gets twice as bad because you let it So you better get numb to it, get numb to it, get numb to it ^{Instrumental Break Outro} Where we've been, where we go from here Take your weight and throw your arms around me Where we’ve been, where we go from here Take your weight and throw your arms around me
