Listen...

If I could I would explain myself to you,
but it would fall on deaf ears,
so instead I just sit here and listen.
If I could I would tell you once more,
of my wishes and my fears,
but instead I just sit here and listen.
If I thought that for one second,
you could understand my head,
then maybe I'd do more than just listen.
If I thought that for one second,
you wouldn't just walk away instead,
then maybe I'd talk and not listen.
If I didn't feel so different,
compared to everyone else,
then I might speak more words than I've come to listen.
If I didn't feel so different,
from the rest of the world,
then I might just speak up and not listen.
And for once someone would hear my side of the story.
