Tried to speak my mind a thousand times Every time I try, I'm paralyzed The words are always there, they just unwind It never seems to feel quite right I won't even flinch, no, I won't run Keep waiting for an answer that won't come Always finding parts but not the sum Something isn't adding up I'll keep silent Long as I live Even if I go without I'll keep silent Long as I live So I'll write it down Dear life Are you even listening? Back and forth, so inconsistent Do I have your attention? Calling out Dear life Dear life Dear life Dear life I finally found the voice inside these lines Erasing all the parts that I don't like But happy is a story I can't write Every page I'm calling out Dear life Are you even listening? Back and forth, so inconsistent Do I have your attention? Calling out Dear life Dear life Dear life Dear life I'll keep silent Long as I live Even if I go without I'll keep silent Long as I live So I'll write it down Dear life Dear life Are you even listening? Back and forth, so inconsistent Do I have your attention? Calling out Dear life Dear life Dear life Dear life Are you even listening? Dear life Are you even listening?
