I could listen to you scream Pretty music to my ears I could listen to it all day If you want me to I could talk about my world How you brought about ruin I could talk about your greed If you want me to
You can whisper your Lord's Prayer And pretend that it matters But don't you wish you'd just listened more? You can hide in the shadows And pretend I won't find you But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
I could look into evil See a heart just like mine I could throw away reason If you want me to
I could walk into darkness Find the hole you crawled into I will be the intruder If you want me to
You can whisper your Lord's Prayer And pretend that it matters But don't you wish you'd just listened more? You can hide in the shadows And pretend I won't find you And don't you wish you'd just listened more?
I could listen to more lies About promises you kept Will you walk on water Like you said you would? I could make you my prisoner But you were dead men talking When you burned the oceans Like you said you would
You can beg for God's mercy And pretend that He hears you But don't you wish you'd just listened more? You can drown in your sorrow And pretend you were helpless But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
This was always your one life I won't pretend that it matters But don't you wish you'd just listened more? This was always your one home I won't pretend that I'll miss you But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
