Listen

You hear me

How silent is the silent cry

Do even you see

How lonely my sigh

I don’t understand why I try

 

You hear me

But you don’t know why

My eyes can only hold back

To what is a dreadful goodbye

 

You hear me

So take my hand and say

You love me, want me to stay

All I can do now is pray

 

You hear me

Save me from this place

You may not recognize my face

Not at this pace

 

You hear me

But you’re not listening
