They forgot the skill of understanding
Cause everyone's caught up in demanding
That their voice be heard
But no one cares to listen

Conversations become debate
And lovers learn to hate
Each other because no one knows
How to listen

It starts when you're 15
And you desperately want to be seen
By others

Now you have that group of friends
And spontaneous days on end
Just to be cool

But then something happens
Unexpected, your life turns and then
You don't know what to do

You can't tell anyone what they've done
Because then they say "where's the fun?"
At least its not illegal

But then everything changes again
And you still haven't told anyone, so you begin
To bottle it all up
And you teach yourself not to cry

A few years pass and still no one knows
But you got to tell someone before your mental state blows

But you don't know how to cry

Now you're 19 and don't know how to cry
People sometimes ask but you don't know why
You simply say you don't

Now this is the part where you begin to heal
You need to start to remember how to feel
So you can learn to cry again
