Temporary Nothing

How does it feel to feel nothing at all? I wonder
I imagine it's gray, like the world has suddenly lost its color
But I'd be lyin' if I said I hadn't wished to feel nothing
At times, to feel nothing

'Cause feelings are painful, and I don't wanna suffer through
All those moments without you when I lost you
Anger and sadness, they're always there
They're always pretty rough to cope with

Feelings, oh, feelings, you tear me apart
And I wish I could start again
But I know that there's the other side
The one that I can't see right now, but I'll find it

And when I do, I'll be so better for the rest
So much better in my chest, can you feel it? Can you feel it?
And when you do, you'll be so happy that you felt
So happy that you dealt with it, yeah, you dealt with it

Feelings, oh, feelings, you tear me apart
And I wish I could start again, again
But I know that there's the other side
The one that I can't see right now, but I'll find it

And I used to think that being numb would ease the pain
But I was wrong, I was so wrong
It's just better to feel and know you're alive while reminding yourself
That it's temporary, oh, it won't last for long
