I fell dumb

I Fell Dumb (E. Dobek, M. McDonald)



I tried standing on my feet but I fell dumb and you looked down

Tried standing on my head but this common gesture just made you frown

I asked you what do you want what can I do how may I please

I would have asked to hang around but I did not want to scrape my knees



This feeling comes and this feeling goes I've

got a feeling I ain't gonna feel nothing no more

And I'm feeling dumb it's like I killed my

brain and I'm feeling numb I ain't ever gonna

feel just quite like myself again



I tried reciting poetry but I tore the page you closed the book

And I tried reciting old cliches but you just gave me that same old look

I changed my chair I changed my mind you changed the bed and kicked me out

I got a pain inside my head and by the roots you ripped it out



(Chorus)



I'll take the fall I'll kill my resistance I'll leave

you alone at my insistence

If the sky should fall it wouldn't change a

thing after all it was my idea...



I tried standing on my feet you fell dumb and I looked down

I tried standing on my head sometimes I can be so pathetic

I asked what do you want what can I do how may I please

I would have asked to hang around but I did not want to scrape my knees
