I Heard You Whisper
I wonder why
You tie yourself down
Giving in to emotions you don't feel
Just hanging around
I wonder why
You wait for the second shoe to drop
Maybe if you lived a little
Your deep depression would stop
I heard you whisper
But I doubt you knew
About how you're just hanging on
Even though the ties are frayed and few
I wonder why
You don't just let go
Grab on to something new
Take a hold
A life is worth living
If given a chance
Maybe next time I'll be whispering
A warning in advance
