Listen if You Will (Remixed and Remastered) Lyrics

I hate that you could never be who I needed you to be

It's crazy how it seems that you couldn't see

What's in front of you, don't you know it's me

Waiting for you to take notice of someone who loves you? Do we

Just move on?

Some say just keep calm and carry on

But it just feels like I'm buried gone

And I just can't find the mask I want

So I'm always searching through the luggage of someone

Who's lost his way, out of place

With the other kids he wouldn't play

Because he doesn't know what normal is

All will have examples but will still say that it's relative

Tell me, does that mean that I'm as normal as it gets

I don't know so let's move on before I forget

What the point of all of this is

I guess my question is

Do you really know me? Or have I been

Too closed off, pull my cuffs

I never seem to say enough

Or if I do I'm saying too much

I feel so out of touch

And I know that if I don't know where to go

I can follow all the prints left in the snow

I don't know

If I'm running round in circles

Into hurdles

My blood curdles

As I stare

Into the ripples

Of my life inside this bottle

Yeah, I wonder how much longer

It will take for me to offer

All the thoughts inside my head that make me stronger

Left me bothered

Just remember: I'm not the man who walked on water

I am just a man they called a liar

Staring in a mirror and I can't tell who this stranger is

Reflection shattered beyond recognition this

Is giving too much information out about me

Just like giving you a weapon that can kill me

And I ask that you don't use it

You don't know how much I fear it

If it's being used against me

I think that it would be

Because of the things that happened in my past

Always hoping I would be the one that's laughing last

What do you know?

I'm always fighting battles on my own

Thinking that I'm strong enough

To always overcome

All the doubts that I can't face

I wish that I had more faith

In those who wanna save me from my chosen fate

And I know that if I don't know where to go

I can follow all the prints left in the snow

I don't know

If I'm running round in circles

Into hurdles

My blood curdles

As I stare

Into the ripples

Of my life inside this bottle

Have I said enough?

Give me a minute to wrap this up

Oh, listen if you will

To the story that I tell

And I hope you know that what I say is real

I've been searching for a sense of direction

But without the motivation, I'm just blind in desperation

But if I know where I can find it

I might be scared to chase it, I can't decide if

I should hide it

Regardless, I keep pushing on

Keep pushing on until I prove you wrong

Can I prove you wrong?

Listen to these words

Reflecting my innocence in a hearse

What is worse? Yeah, what is worse?

Writing my thoughts down for an empty void

Or being heard by some crazy people trying to avoid

Solving problems? I can't solve em

Do we leave or do we follow

Time to find an answer? Well, we don't wanna

Cuz we know that if we don't know where to go

We can follow all the prints left in the snow

We don't know

If we're running round in circles

Into hurdles

Our blood curdles

As we stare

Into the ripples

Of our lives inside these bottles
