Lyrics

Cantilever (2007)
Composed by Jeff Murphy

---

Don't want to stand in your way, you really need to be free
It's just a matter of time until you say it to me

Things slowly started to change, the simple pleasures are gone
It's knowing what we once had that makes it hard to go on

Confiding all my fears, that fall upon deaf ears

You never listen to me, you only hear what I say
If you would show that you care
or just acknowledge I'm there
and now you need to play fair
You never listen to me, you never listen to me

Don't say it's all in my head, I'm not imagining things
Don't act surprised that I know. You know what silence will bring

And now it's all I can do, to try to reason with you

You never listen to me, you only hear what I say
I've never been untrue, it doesn't matter to you
I know it doesn't matter to you
You never listen to me, you never listen to me

(Instrumental)

Despite the things that I say, I see you drifting away

You never listen to me, you never listen to me
