“Deaf”
if you hold on to the past
you’re gonna get burned
and left in the dust

if you don’t let go
you’re bound to get hurt
and I won’t be there for you

if you never leave him
you’re destined for
a life of sadness

if you stay here
you’re never going to know
what it’s like without him there

and even though I try to tell you
the words pass through from ear to ear
and even though I love you
you’re too busy focusing
on that boy who’s never there
to listen to
what I’m trying to tell you
so please hear me when I’m
trying to be there for you

if you want to go
with him that’s fine
you’re missing out on the good life

(out of ideas for a second verse, please help!)

and even though I try to tell you
the words pass through from ear to ear
and even though I love you
you’re too busy focusing
on that boy who’s never there
to listen to
what I’m trying to tell you
so please hear me when I’m
trying to be there for you
