Unhear - Andrew Allen

Can we talk?

Can we say what’s on our mind?

Without arguing this time, about who’s wrong and who is right?

Can we stop?

This dam’s about to break

When you’re mad you show your hate, and you say things you shouldn’t say

Words are worse than sticks and stones

And they’ll forever hurt me

You said you didn’t want me

When I needed you the most

You said I was controlling

When I asked why you’re not home

You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it

I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it

I let you go, but somehow you’re still here

Even after all these years, you’re still ringing in my ears

I didn’t know, a tongue could cut so deep

If you were stronger underneath, you wouldn’t need to make me feel so weak

Words are worse than sticks and stones

And they’ll forever hurt me

You said you didn’t want me

When I needed you the most

You said I was controlling

When I asked why you’re not home

You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it

I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it

You said you didn’t want me

When I needed you the most

You said I was controlling

I just asked why you’re not home

You’re trying to apologise and I’m trying to believe it

But I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it
