Finally Heard

Verse 1

I still remember the static on the screen

The loudest silence I had ever seen

When the tears started falling down my face

You didn't hold me, you just erased the space

You reached for the remote, turned it all the way up

Leaving me drowning in a broken cup

You increased the volume just to drown out my cry

Didn't want to hear it, didn't even ask why.

Chorus

And damn, it was a fucked up situation

Living in the shadows of your isolation

I was begging for love, but you left me ignored

Looking back, I swear, I don't want to be your whore

Just a body in your bed, a voice you could mute

But I finally walked away from your bitter truth.

Verse 2

Ten years passed by in a blink of an eye

Learning how to heal, learning how to fly

Building up the walls so I'd never break again

Swearing off the romance, sticking to the end

Then the doors flew open, the light flooded in

A familiar soul where the new days begin

Ten years later, he walked through the door

And I don't have to hide my tears anymore.

Chorus

'Cause damn, that was a fucked up situation

Living in the shadows of your isolation

I was begging for love, but you left me ignored

Looking back, I swear, I don't want to be your whore

Just a body in your bed, a voice you could mute

But I finally walked away from your bitter truth.

Bridge

Thank you to the man who turned the TV high

You taught me how to say a permanent goodbye

And thank you to the man who came back around

Who listens to my heart and loves the quiet sound

Ten years of waiting, but you finally arrived

To show me what it means to truly be alive.

Outro

No more turning up the volume.

No more crying in the dark.

Damn... look at where we are.

I'm finally heard.
