"Whispering" lyrics

How did it come to this?
Have I been so naïve?
I will not succumb to this
I will not be deceived

Why should I cry for this?
Who will they believe?
My road is much too high for this
So won't you let me be?

Just because I pay no mind
It don't mean I can't see
Just because I hold my tongue
It don't mean I won't speak

Sounds like whispering
I've heard of this before
Sounds like whispering
I'll hear of this no more

Whispering

How should I respond to this?
I'd rather hold my peace (piece)
I will not be disarmed by this
You won't get under me

And why should I be moved by this?
Are you too blind to see?
I do not aim to prove a thing
Won't even disagree

Just because I show no pain
Don't mean that I won't bleed
Just because I turn my cheek
Don't think that I am weak

Sounds like whispering
I've heard of this before
Sounds like whispering
I'll hear of this no more

Whispering
(Whispering)

Some get down to bring you down
They bend the truth and then lie on you
But never let it bring you down
It's who they are and what they do is

Whispering
(Whispering)

Sounds like whispering
I've heard of this before
Sounds like whispering
I'll hear of this no more oh, oh, oh, oh
Sounds like whispering
I've heard of this before oh-oh-oh
Sounds like whispering
I'll hear of this no more

Whispering
(Whispering)
