Second to Numb Lyrics

He won't touch you anymore
Staying at his side
Half indifferent, half afraid
It will only make you cry

What is given can't be returned
The cards are in our hands
All that is living can be hurt
And that's the end of innocence

Second round found you beating death
The miracle of life
Once each of you caught your breath
A question simmers inside

How far away from being in
Can there be stated of love?
How deep-rooted your bond within?
What matter is it made of?

What have we become?
What have we become?
What have we become?
Second to numb

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Its about how a girl got pregnant to trap a man into a permanent relationship. Because she knew that the man would not abandon the child she believed that he would never abandon her once she conceived with him , but, although he can be a good father and will stay with the mother for the sake if the child that doesn't mean that he will ever love her again. The mother and child almost died in childbirth but they made it, It's a miracle of life, but he wont touch her anymore..."what will we become"? Numb, for indeed how far from being love in can there be a state of love when you have been coerced into a lifetime relationship with someone? He will never leave her, for the sake of the innocent child but he will never love her as he once did. They made up by the way and everything fine now ;) (almost)
