The Sound of Your Tears


All alone, staring at the screen, nothing getting in
Frantically searching for something to do
But there’s just a big space,
and in the middle there is you

Searching for warmth, but how much can you get
through the wires of the world,
they pretend  to connect
But the distance isn’t bridged, it is only looked over

So you fill the room with music
Because you cannot stand the silence in the air
You have to block your ears
To the sound of your thoughts, the sound of your tears

Clinging to the tiniest thing from a stranger
Pretending that it’s something, pretending it’s true
Cause the alternative’s admitting that it’s really just you

And you know they care, yes they love
you know they’d help if they could
But they can’t, cause it was you who walked away
And they have enough to do, in their everyday

So you fill the room with music…

And maybe they don’t know,
cause you just don’t want to say
What it really feels like, to be so far away
You don’t want to hurt, and you don’t want to burden

So you fill the room with music…
