[Verse 1] You talk and the table goes quiet Your words hit the wall, then fade You got that look in your eyes Like you carried the whole world today The room keeps chewing on nothing Your hand on a paper cup You say it plain, you say it straight Still they never look up [Pre-Chorus] So you swallow the heat And you bite down the sound Try once more, try again But it all falls down [Chorus] Nobody is listening Nobody is listening You shout in the dark And it still won’t ring Nobody is listening Nobody is listening (hey) But I hear you now I hear everything [Verse 2] Your phone face-down on the counter Full of names you can’t trust You learned how to smile on cue Even when it’s too much You keep your truth in your pocket Like a match in a rain-soaked coat Waiting for one small spark To turn into smoke [Pre-Chorus] So you swallow the heat And you bite down the sound Try once more, try again But it all falls down [Chorus] Nobody is listening Nobody is listening You shout in the dark And it still won’t ring Nobody is listening Nobody is listening (hey) But I hear you now I hear everything [Bridge] Let them miss what they missed Let them pass you by Your voice is a door That won’t stay tied Say it like you mean it Say it one more time What they never heard Still survives [Final Chorus] Nobody is listening Nobody is listening You shout in the dark And it still won’t ring Nobody is listening Nobody is listening (hey) But I hear you now I hear everything Nobody is listening Nobody is listening But you’re still standing there And that means something
