cigarette smoke's hanging on my tears

clouding up my mind like all its fears

i'm leaving you

you want me to

but how

i got no shame

so call my name

call now



just hear me say

yeah, hear me say

don't turn away

hear me say

yeah, hear me say

don't push away



another tear, another day

another year and i'll say

there's nothing left for me

and though it's clear that I'll pay

there's a fear that i'll say

i'll stay

yeah, pick up that knife

and cut up my life

there's nothing you can't touch

so if you see some part

that you think may start

don't stop



hear me say

yeah, hear me say

don't turn away

hear me say

yeah, hear me say

don't push away



i've turned it into something

a puppet on your string

i don't know myself

is that part of your stealth

i know what you do

when i say this to you

it means nothing at all

you are deaf to my call

i know what to do

i am turning from you

love's been drummed out of me

my love's deaf to your plea



just hear me say

yeah, hear me say

i've turned away

hear me say

yeah, hear me say

i've pushed away



hear me say

yeah, hear me say

i've turned away

hear me say

yeah, hear me say

i've pushed away
