I started dancing just to be around you
but if you knew
how much I hated dancing
would you care?
or would you wish I wasn't there?

I changed how I stand
my hearing
has been bad since I was young
my neck hurts
from leaning in to hear your words

I stopped my rambling
used to talk
now I feel quiet
can you hear
my speech against deaf ears

and now you say
you feel unkind
I changed my ways
you changed your mind
