Can you hear me
Tell me is this thing on
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3
Do you hear my voice above the noise
Are you listening? Are you listening
'Cause I got some things I need to say
And I've been quiet for a while
So if you don't mind I'm gonna turn the volume higher
I'm tired of being ignored
Sound check, sound check
Is my mic on
Everything's getting lost in translation
Words ricochet off the walls
You make a scene
Then make it my fault
Is it pointless
When we disagree
It always turns into a fight
So you revel in my silence
And you cringe when I get loud
Were it up to you I wouldn't make a sound
For years I've been afraid
To say what's on my mind
I feared stepping over broken pieces left behind
But I've kept this to myself for too long
I've never been lonelier
Than when I talk to you
All I do is scream but
There's nothing coming through
Every time I speak my mind
You only shut me down
Don't know what to do
I can't find a way
To make you hear
What I have to say
