How It Sounds

Everyone's hoping you can hold off the attack
They keep telling you that you should just relax
But if they knew how that sounded to you
They would know that it's something you can't do

Everybody's telling you everything's gonna be OK
They keep saying tomorrow's another day
But if they knew how that sounded to you
They would know why you know that that's not true
They would know why you know that that's not true

Everyone's saying it's not as bad as it seems
They keep talking but you don't know what they mean
And if they knew how that sounded to you
They'd be alone at home and locked inside their rooms

Everyone's telling you the reasons you should live
They keep saying that you got so much to give
But if they knew how that sounded to you
It would break their hearts in two
It would break their hearts in two

But they don't know, they don't know, they don't know
So they'll keep talking and wasting their breath
They don't know how to save your sorry soul
So they'll keep talking till there's no words left
They'll keep talking till there's no words left
