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
