She doesn't want to cry
She doesn't want to hurt

But so many of their words
Follow her around

She tells herself she doesn't care
She just turns away

And puts the headphones on

The headphones that block out
All of the hurt
And the people who make her cry

She falls away
Into a world
Where there's nothing
But

The

Deep

Rhythm

She falls away
Into a world
Where she can ride
The voices of people
Who share her pain
Or know her hope

She pulls them closer to her
So they can't hear her pain

No

She doesn't cry

She doesn't explain

She just listens to people
Who share her pain
