Deaf Ears

Feels like I'm talking to myself
Dear God, I'm running out of breath
If I could cut it from my chest
Maybe you would listen then
If I'm not speaking loud enough I suppose the blame is all on me
So let me clear my throat again and start speaking properly
I've tried for many years to gain your affection
Validating my fears, you pay me no attention
Falling on deaf ears
Just wasting time here
It's like I'm talking to a wall, not a single word is sinking in
You have no use for me at all, insecurity is setting in
It's not like I care, but could you take a second
To see me standing here giving you my full attention
Whatever will I do
Every time I speak to you just
Feels like I'm talking to myself
Dear God, I'm running out of breath
If I could cut it from my chest
Maybe you would listen then
