Lyrics

Dumb (Live Acoustic)

I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done And I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Maybe just happy I think I'm just happy I think I'm just happy I think I'm just happy My heart is broke But I have some glue Help me inhale And mend it with you We'll float around And hang out on clouds Then we'll come down And have a hangover Have a hangover Have a hangover Have a hangover Skin the sun Fall asleep Wish away Soul is cheap Lesson learned Wish me luck Soothe the burn Wake me up I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done And I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Maybe just happy I think I'm just happy I think I'm just happy I think I'm just happy I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb, I think I'm dumb
