"Are You Listening?" lyrics

"Are You Listening?"

I can't blame her for what she did
I just needed someone there to listen
I was fifteen, thinkin' that I shouldn't exist
Head deep to the bottom of a bottle
While skiing down a mountain
Not praying for tomorrow

Maybe if you tried a little bit harder
You would've seen I was holding the lighter
'Cause I was trying so hard to change
But no one was listening
Maybe if you could've seen through the fire
I wouldn't have been such a damn disaster
You could've tried to bear my pain
But you weren't listening

Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
You don't even listen, it's all I know
Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
I don't wanna live in this broken home

I don't blame you for the things I did
Didn't I know that these habits were gonna be consistent?
I'm just lucky that I'm not dead
Eyes closed while I'm breathing in the ocean
I'm choking on these verses, drownin' in emotions

Maybe if you tried a little bit harder
You would've seen I was holding the lighter
'Cause I was trying so hard to change
But no one was listening
Maybe if you could've seen through the fire
I wouldn't have been such a damn disaster
You could've tried to bear my pain
But you weren't listening

Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
You don't even listen, it's all I know
Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
I don't wanna live in this broken home

Ten years and I can't speak
I just didn't wanna burden you
Didn't you ever stop and think
I just need a little help too?
I get so caught up in me
Forget what it's like to breathe
And if there's one thing you made me hate, it's me
When we don't speak
You only let me drown, you can't leave
'Cause you weren't around
If there's one thing you made me hate, it's you

Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
You don't even listen, it's all I know
Can anybody hear me?
Where am I supposed to go?
I don't wanna live in this broken home
