i never told you
my hearing is getting worse
everyone around me has noticed
but i still make up excuses
because im afraid to admit it
but really i don't know why i wanted to tell you
its not like that would change anything
you would've just found another reason to hate me
my worst fear was going completely deaf
and its come true
i realized it a while ago
thats why i kept on asking to hear your voice
i was afraid ill never hear your voice again
that i would forget what your voice sounded like
and it would be to late to ask to hear it again
now that we're done
i wonder what will happen
will i try to remember your voice
or will i forget it
and learn to live
i don't want to be deaf
i want be able to talk freely
i want to be able to say i can hear the birds
or the train when it passes
i want to be able to hear lulu when she crys for food
i want to be able to live a normal life
like the one im used to
i don't want to live life pretending to understand
and i can't say its going by slowly
because its not
its going by so fast
each day i notice
im losing more and more
soon all sound will be gone from my world
