I Was Not Listening

lyrics

This is the last time
that I'll ever see you alive
Though I don't know it
Yes I will regret it

You've been expressing
your heartfelt opinions
I'm just waiting
for my my turn to speak

In the present
In the moment
I was absent
Now I'm trying
to make up for it

You were crying for help
I was not listening
You were crying for help
I was not listening
listening listening listening listening

Fear and shame wrapped up in my brain
clouded all of the signs
It's my own ego
hurting me again

You were hoping I'd be different
but I'm only just like them
You needed help
and I ignored it

In the present
In the moment
I was absent
Now I'm trying
to make up for it

You were crying for help
I was not listening
You were crying for help
I was not listening
listening listening listening listening
listening listening listening listening
listening listening

We're not the protagonists
Let's stop pretending they are for us

You were crying for help
I was not listening
