lies

they say they love u

they say they need u

they say they miss u

they say they'll help u

they say they'll tell u

they say they'll listen to u

they say they'll see u  

* * *

i love u

i need u

i miss u

don't worry

i'll call u

we'll meet....

i'll keep my mouth shut

i'll lend my ears
i need to listen

i'll lend my ears
they want me to listen

i'll lend my ears
that's what they want

i'll lend my ears
even though i am not ready

but...

i'll keep my mouth shut
they don't want to listen to me

i'll keep my mouth shut
they'll never listen to me

i'll keep my mouth shut
what i am saying is useless

i'll keep my mouth shut
how i say it, doesn't matter

i'll keep my mouth shut
and say no more.

i'll be a girl with ears but no mouth.
