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

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
