Sometimes I swear I feel like
Sewing my ears right shut
These words you say to me are
Only and nothing but
Things you should be forgetting
But for some reason aren't
These feelings that you've kept close
Are tearing me apart
But I must keep my ears open
So that I can still be
Able to comprehend things
That are so dear to me
And I truly hate to say it
And you know that I do
You can't say those words to me
Even if they are true

I'm afraid that if I take the sound away
I could wind up someone different
Than the one I am today
I'm in an internal dilemma
I don't wanna hear your secrets
But I wanna hear the glimmer
In everything that passes by my window
All the tingles in my body
All the stretching of the marrow
So if you could leave me alone
You can take the words you have
Straight away from the phone

I thought about you last night
You probably thought of me too
But not of times of speaking
But of the things we'd do
Day dreams of intimacy
Just never seem to part
Away from my memory
I just wish they would stop
I think of all those words that
I keep hearing from you
They make me wanna go insane
I don't know what to do
So let's not talk for some time
However long it takes
I'm sorry my old darling
I need another face

I have this fear that I'm going…
I'm having this fear that you don't have the knowing
I've got this uncontrollable fear that I'm going…
Sounds from everywhere are beating down my brain and it's slowing
Down my life

So stop talking to me
Your words fly into me and
I can't release 'em cause
You just repeat 'em and
I hate to listen but
You keep me common back for
More of your control
Just leave me alone but don't take away
What I love
