When spoken without a taste or touch of

how I felt for you

for you

So I let them leave my mouth

Not knowing that sticks and stones

will break your bones and words will too

When will I begin to learn

Calling out your name

You're not listening

I'm calling out your name

But I'm better off listening

Better off better off listening

Better off better off listening

Words they are sharp as knifes

Spoken with just a touch or taste of

love you thought was true

I'm listening inside my box

hiding away my thoughts to tell you

“I still want to” could

scare me to do it alone

Life won't be simple as

just rewinding time in tune

If you've wanted to

I'm still wanting you

Calling out your name

You're not listening

I'm calling out your name

But I'm better off listening

Calling out your name

Are you listening

I'm calling out your name

But I'm better off listening

Can't find the courage convincing myself

It's all for the better It's all for the best

The road we have struggled

pretending has led me to find you

Calling out your name

I'm still listening

Calling out your name

If you are still listening

Calling out your name

I'm still listening

I'm calling out your name

If you are still listening

Calling out your name

Calling out your name

Better off better off listening
