I make my mother proud
I make my father ashamed of me
He wanted me to find low in his shadow forever
Well, I'm sorry
I'm so sorry that ain't me oh no
So we walk around on egg shells
Never sayin how we feel
()
But to people to be honest
I don't feel it, you think I feel numb numb numb
I feel numb numb numb
Too many years, I'm not speakin
Time went by and I do to be numb numb numb
I am numb numb numb

I always got straight A's without tryin in school
But when it came to you I was failing as your son
Well, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I couldn't be the ideal boy
No I don't like football but I don't have a problem sayin how I feel

But to people to be honest
I don't feel it, you think I feel numb numb numb
I feel numb numb numb
Too many years, I'm not speakin
Time went by and I do to be numb numb numb
I am numb numb numb

No I don't mean no exclamations from the mouth
Every now I stay before you a bigger man, a better man
'Cause you are around, around oh
Yea I learned all the right ways from your wrongs
And I'm stronger now though I thank you
I love you, I don't thank you
You're only human
