I'm Listening

There’s a haunting voice outside my door

I know you hate that metaphor

The truth is it’s more in my head

I can’t quite say what’s not yet said

You turn and put words in my mouth

They’re on my lips not said out loud

You watch me fight with what’s been done

Somehow I’ll carry on

I’m listening

You know I’m listening

How could I avoid you when words have destroyed our everything

And I’m fighting it

You know I’m fighting it

I know it’s as painful as painful could ever be

I’m not crazy it’s for real

You’ve taken everything I feel

Acting like I have no mind of my own

Just forget I said before

That I’d be here if you need more
