The feeling of being numb hasn’t gone away Since you been gone My heart is afraid to beat And the thought of love Is as uncomfortable as and old seat to flop in Instead it’s been replaced With resentment Against the unfaithful Hatefulness and disgust Erupted inside of me like a busted vein And now it course within me Keeping the love and trust In shackles and chains Oppressed like the black man Since you been gone I often wonder was I wrong Did letting you go for your own sake Was that a mistake The thought that I change you Turned you into someone that was always angry Was that something I could take ? Since you been gone The memories we made still rage on Sometimes I wish I could just forget I’d empty all the money In my tank Into a wishing well Just to wish away the spell This undying love you cast on me that hasn’t warn off Since you been gone I’ve never felt more alone Now come back
