Words they don't mean as much When spoken without a taste or touch of How I felt for you (for you) So I let them leave my mouth Not knowing that sticks and stones Will break your bones and words will too Ooh Calling out your name When will I begin to learn? Calling out your name You're not listening listening I'm calling out your name But I'm better off listening Better off better off better off listening Better off better off better off listening Words, they are sharp as knives Spoken with just a touch or taste of love you thought was true Hmm I'm listening inside my box Hiding away my thoughts to tell you "I still want to" could scare me to do it alone Life won't be simple as just rewinding time in tune If you've wanted to I'm still wanting you Calling out your name You're not listening listening I'm calling out your name But I'm better off listening Calling out your name Are you listening listening I'm calling out your name But I'm better off listening Can't find the courage Convincing myself It's all for the better It's all for the best The road we have struggled Pretending has led me to find you Find you Calling out your name I'm still listening listening Calling out your name If you are still listening Calling out your name I'm still listening listening I'm calling out your name If you are still listening Calling out your name Calling out your name (Better off better off listening)
