Listen to the words that slip from my lips
Listen to the way my breath escapes
Listen to my heart pound
Listen

I listen to your words
I listen to your emotions
I listen to your wind
I listen to your pounding drum

But you say I don't hear you
I don't hear your cry
I don't hear that breath escape
I don't hear you beating heart

But in reality it is you
You who doesn't listen to my words
How selfish are you
You who can't hear my breath escape
Why do suffocate me

My heart pounds in my chest worrying about you about my job
Because you don't care if you tell the world about our frowned upon relation
You want the world to know of the things we've done

But what I want is silence
I don't want to hear the things you have to say
I don't want to listen to your breathing
I don't want to hear your heart beating
Because I need to listen

I need to listen to my heart
I need to listen to my breath
I need to listen to my emotions
I need to listen to the most important person
I need to listen to me
