"Listen" lyrics

"Listen"

She won't listen
Such a tempered soul
Only nineteen years of age
Stuck in her ways
She'll never change for anyone
A dark prison
On her bedroom floor
Tryna find a new escape
She wants to break away to ease the pain

And just sail away
Go separate ways
I know you want me right by your side
Sail away
Can't take the pain
I'm blinded by the tears in my eye

You don't listen
Only had one chance
And you gave that chance away
Stuck with the blame
The shame is all but bearable
It's hand-written
You can see those marks
Where the tears fell on the page
She had to break away to ease the pain

And just sail away
Go separate ways
I know you want me right by your side
Sail away
Can't take the pain
I'm blinded by the tears in my eye

And now the razor blade is kissing the vein
And she's fighting but it's not to survive
But I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Please listen
When I tell you that I need to get away
I need to break away to heal the pain

And just sail away
Go separate ways
I know you want me right by your side
Sail away
Can't take the pain
I'm drowning from the tears in my eye

And now the razor blade is kissing the vein
And I'm fighting but it's not to survive
