[Verse 1]
I lined the edges up
Told you where it hurts
You nodded at the table
Like you heard a different word
I held my hands out flat
Showed you every crack
You looked right through the window
Then you turned your face back
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m spelling it slow
I’m making it plain
If you miss the first part
It all sounds the same
I’m right here in front
With the truth on my tongue
But you keep on moving
Like nothing is wrong
[Chorus]
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I say it clean
You let it bleed
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I need you here
Not halfway near
[Verse 2]
The dishes in the sink
The rent overdue
The phone on silent all night
And me asking you
I don’t need a rescue
I need you to stay
Sit with the mess of it
Don’t turn it away
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m spelling it slow
I’m making it plain
If you miss the first part
It all sounds the same
I’m right here in front
With the truth on my tongue
But you keep on moving
Like nothing is wrong
[Chorus]
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I say it clean
You let it bleed
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I need you here
Not halfway near
[Bridge]
If I get quiet
Don’t call it peace
I’m just too tired
To fight to be seen
One more time
Look at my face
I’m asking for
A real kind of place
[Final Chorus]
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I say it clean
You let it bleed
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
I need you here
Not halfway near
You’re not hearing me
You’re not hearing me
This house won’t heal
If you won’t feel
