I say the wrong thing
And you just listen
We make our own world
And it glistens

And you still trust me
when I‘m silent
You never judge me
when I‘m violent

But when I need you
I really need you
Your lies are going
‘round and ‘round my head
When I need you
I really need you
I can‘t be sure
That it won‘t hurt more

It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears
It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears

You take the whole man
without condition
You wrote the whole plan
around my vision
And I‘m destructive,
too much ambition
You give me comfort
and ammunition

But when I need you
I really need you
Your lies are going
‘round and ‘round my head
When I need you
I really need you

I can‘t be sure
That it won‘t hurt more

It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears
It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears

It‘s just the wrong day
for receiving
It‘s just the wrong day
to believe in
In anything at all
To feel humble to feel small
To feel grateful for the call

I thought I knew you better
than anyone
I thought I knew you better
than anyone

(When the world is crashing down
around my ears)

It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears
It‘s just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down
around my ears

I thought I knew you better
than anyone
I only wanted to hear
