What You Heard

You're taking a breath, as you're taking it in

You could go for a drink, but it's the last call

You breath in get high, you breathe out a sigh

Why call it a lie when you can enjoy the ride

Is it so complicated

The tension commits

You're afraid to give in

So you just listen to the words and you agree just for kicks

An object of youth

Portraying the truth

You know what you heard

But don't know what to do

You tell yourself

You try to say

What you want about me

You try to hear

What you wanted to hear

To find a way we can all just agree

But you try to hear what you wanted to hear

You try to hear what you wanted to hear, oh

But I prefer

What you heard

You need enough to cure the wound

But what's enough can breed a fool

Just take some time, just enough to think

Even a second will go by in a blink

You learn your lesson, now

It's always such a bore

When you've heard it all before

Don't ignore me here

Don't ignore me hear

What I only wanna say

Will it ever be okay

Will it ever be enough

Or are you too far gone

Don't just listen

You try to say

What you want about me

You try to hear

What you wanted to hear

To find a way we can all just agree

But you try to hear what you wanted to hear

You try to hear what you wanted to hear, oh

But I prefer

What you heard
