Listening

Words they won't mean as much
When spoken without a taste or touch / of how I felt for you

So I let them leave my mouth
Not knowing that sticks and stones /
will break your bones and words will too

When will I begin to learn

Calling out your name / You're not listening
I'm calling out your name / But I'm better off listening

Better off better off listening

Words they are sharp as knifes
Spoken with just a touch or taste of love you / thought was true

I'm listening inside my box / hiding away my thoughts to tell you
“I still want to” / could scare me to do it alone

Life won't be simple as / just rewinding time in tune
If you've wanted to / I'm still wanting you

Calling out your name / You're not listening
I'm calling out your name / But I'm better off listening
Calling out your name / Are you listening (listening)
I'm calling out your name / But I'm better off listening

Can't find the courage convincing myself /
It's all for the better It's all the best
The road we have struggled / pretending has led me to find you

Calling out your name / I'm still listening
Calling out your name / If you are still listening
