"Dear Life" lyrics

"Dear Life"

Tried to speak my mind a thousand times
Every time I try, I'm paralyzed
The words are always there, they just unwind
It never seems to feel quite right

I won't even flinch, no, I won't run
Keep waiting for an answer that won't come
Always finding parts but not the sum
Something isn't adding up

I'll keep silent
Long as I live
Even if I go without
I'll keep silent
Long as I live
So I'll write it down

Dear life
Are you even listening?
Back and forth, so inconsistent
Do I have your attention?
Calling out
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life

I finally found the voice inside these lines
Erasing all the parts that I don't like
But happy is a story I can't write
Every page I'm calling out

Dear life
Are you even listening?
Back and forth, so inconsistent
Do I have your attention?
Calling out
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life

I'll keep silent
Long as I live
Even if I go without
I'll keep silent
Long as I live
So I'll write it down
Dear life

Dear life
Are you even listening?
Back and forth, so inconsistent
Do I have your attention?
Calling out
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life
Dear life
Are you even listening?
Dear life
Are you even listening?
