I’m not a smart man, I’m not a dumb man,
I get by on what I know
I’m not a nice man, but I’m not a mean man,
I just wanna be left alone
I’m not asleep, but I’m not awake,
I’m just present mostly, these days
I’m not a sane man, but I’m not crazy,
I just dwell on certain things
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I’m not a rich man, I’m not a poor man,
I don’t need more, I don’t want less
I’m not a changed man, but I’m not the same man,
I was before you left
I’m not concerned, but I’m not carefree,
I keep my distance from unsafe things
I’m not a brave man, but I’m not afraid,
Of whatever becomes of me
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I find some, comfort in that,
I’m numb, since you walked out
I’m fine
I’ll be fine
I’m just fine
‘Cause I’m numb, since you walked out,
& I’m done, with the fall out
I find some, comfort in that,
I’m numb, since you walked out
