Deaf Ears

It was raining so hard
As we walked to the car,
The temperature
Fell every hour.
You told me that you're fine
You just needed some time,
And I don't think that I helped as I lied
And said maybe this is just,
A passing of the seasons.
Maybe this
Is just a cycle,
It's repeated.
And I know that I'm not
What you needed,
But I promise I'll always be
There if you feel it.

It's a hard pill to swallow,
But some things just don't work out.
It's a tough act to follow,
Once we're born.
We know it won't last,
We anticipate regret.
We know we can't run forever
But that doesn't make it
Any better

I wish I knew what to say,
I wish I knew how to tell you it's ok
To feel the anger you feel,
I wish I knew the words to ease your mind
I wish it wasn't so hard for me to find the time

But this gap is growing wider,
The grass is growing higher.
I know your only desire
Is to turn back time

Months will fade into years
You'll accept that you're here
You'll move along with the tears,
I promise it gets better

With time
With time

And I swear this isn't easier for me,
And I know that you just wanted to be
In love.
Look at the life you built,
You just wanted a family,
Now I think you start to see.

That life just throws us in the dirt,
I swear to god we ask for it to hurt,
And I haven't been alive very long,
But I know the truth behind every song
(Every song you sang to each other)
That you sang to each other,
Even though they fell on deaf ears.
Fell on deaf ears.
