The Experience: Yeah, you stole my heart, and all I have is a hole where it used to be, and my heart is flawed... Nick Jonas and Angel Haze take a look at the tormented hearts in the center of a betrayal...
Music video: Still waiting.
Meaning of Numb: The song is an up-close look at betrayal. She betrayed him... and wants him to take her back. She was his first love... and maybe his last, because now his heart is flawed. Can he find it in himself to forgive? Nick Jonas and Angel Haze don't offer answers, but they do a great job of feeling their way into every corner of the problem.
Ask yourself: Can broken hearts mend? Should they?
LYRICS:
This is so dumb, this is so bad
Ought to be numb to miss you like that
Lifting me up, letting me fall
F-ck with my head like there's nothing there at all
You were my sun, you were my air
I was your past and you were my first
Breaking my heart one push at a time
There's a reason why, yeah
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is flawed
It's like you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
Yeah, you leave me numb, numb
Losing my mind, losing control
Swallow my pride, you swallow me whole
Smile on my face to cover my hurt
Spent so much time but what was that for?
I'm broken hard, I'm saving it all
Crossing my head, mistaken for love
Marks on my back, they don't mean a thing
They ain't yours, they ain't yours
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is flawed
It's like you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
Numb, yeah you leave me
[Angel Haze]
I got dropped off in a black box
Lived on a matchbox in your rage
You say "we are merely players
Who still act off at this day
I kept begging you to stay like
"Baby, please don't leave me"
And I dream on, you gettin' your plot and your scheme on
And I behave where my beans on
He love me, he love me, no he don't
'Cause you make me feel like the night before Christmas
Love is a crime, and I'm stuck in your prision
Far as you want, baby I go the distance
If you on it, I'm on it, why are we drilling
[Nick Jonas]
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And my heart is flawed
It's like you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah, you leave me numb
