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 better off listening
 Better off better off better off listening
 Words they are sharp as knives
 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
 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 for 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
 Calling out your name
 I'm still listening
 I'm calling out your name
 If you are still listening
 Calling out your name
 Calling out your name
