Numb To Love

You could say you love me and I'll be like "so what"
I've been hurt so much that now my heart is locked
The key is gone, so it's going to stay like that
I'm numb to love and the feelings not coming back

I don't trust anyone so I refuse to get close 
Before they even approach I've already let go
My heart has been left broke and I won't allow it to become worse
You can say you love me, but I'm numb to those words

I keep girls at arms length because they can't handle me
My dinners are by myself and candle free
I'm not good with feelings and intimacy
I suck at love and I'm not built for it mentally

I played girls in my younger days as the sex offered a connection
But I've always struggled to open up more for fear of rejection
Mum put me in care when I was a child so I grew up hating females
Slept my way through every girl I met, I'm just being honest with the details

My guard is up for good now and it won't be coming down
Trying to keep my head above the water so I don't drown
I'm looking to the future and love is nothing but a shadow of my past
Cupid is dead, I took his bow and put an arrow in his back

You could say you love me and I'll be like "so what"
I've been hurt so much that now my heart is locked
The key is gone, so it's going to stay like that
I'm numb to love and the feelings not coming back
