Deaf In One Ear - Young and Heartless

I can barely remember when we were young

Standing in the parking lot at one

And you said I don’t even like you anymore, but no one

Else is answering my calls.

It is like I’m not here at all

And these days, you ain’t quite been the same since your father left

It’s not your fault I say, it’s not your fault

And you say, I don’t care anyway

Someday, we will lie in our separate graves, where heaven and hell couldn’t

stay further way

And I hope I never see his face around this town or ever again

I can barely remember when we were young

The day you saw your father’s son

And you asked is it alright if I could stay here all night

I didn’t want to be seen by your brother.

17 and terrified, I climbed out of

your window and into your backyard

Every apology I wrote, sounded like a suicide note.

Words fell out,

panic setting in my hands I cried no.

All this wasted breath, my God it’s

unbearable

That’s when a thought crept in my head.

I climbed up to a branch,

took a breath and I fell

Broken ribs and torn apart I looked up.

I couldn’t believe that this was summer

love

Trying hard not to sound desperate but you’re the only one I talk to anymore

Isn’t it strange, isn’t it strange?

How we only remember the awful things
