You don't need them
Take those useless things off
You're missing so much
Just listen to me and take those
Damn things off!!!
You're always listening to music
Actually I'm not dad and mom
You don't know I listen to very thing
Those talks you think I don't hear?
About how much you'd like to change
About me?
The ones about how my dreams
Are stupid?
Or how the way my makeup make me
... look like a prostitute...?
Yep heard that one
Sure did hurt
It even made me cry
When you asked what's wrong
I lie
And say a story I was reading
Yes I wear headphones 24/7
But imagine all the talks
I hear
When people think
I'm not listening
When I very well am
I listen to more secret talks
Then music
I know
How you really feel about me
If I told you all the shit I knew
All the lies and others
And I told you
You'd see the pain that I can't hide
So keep talking your talk
I'll keep learning the ugly truth
While wearing my headphones
I don't need a slap of reality
You just need to learn to let go
Of the past and learn
Things aren't what they were
And to stop comparing my childhood
To yours
