Listening (To Be Defined ver.)

Words they won't mean as much
When spoken with just a touch or taste of
How I felt for you, hmm
So why let them leave my mouth
Not knowing that sticks and stones
Will break your bones and words will too, hmm
When will I begin to learn?

Calling out your name
You're not listening, listening
I'm calling out your name
But I'm better off listening
Better off, better off, better off listening
Better off, better off, better off listening

Words they are sharp as knives
Spoken with just a touch or taste of love you thought was true, hmm
I'm listening inside my box
Trying to find that space to tell you
All I wanted was you just to want me 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
Are you listening, listening?
I'm calling out your name
But I'm better off listening
Calling out your name
Are you listening, 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 calling out your name
If you are still listening
Calling out your name
Are you listening, listening?
I'm calling out your name
But I'm better off listening

Better off, better off, better off listening (calling out your name)
Better off, better off, better off listening (are you listening, listening?)
Better off, better off, better off listening (calling out your name)
Better off, better off, better off listening (if you're still listening)
