Before Fire - Are You Listening? Lyrics

Are you listening to me?
Or are you busy being hip
Are you listening to me?
Staring at your fingertips
I don't recognize you
You're changing right in front of me
I don't recognize you
What's your reality?
For a moment in your life
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me what you're feeling, oh
I wanna know
But you don't give
A damn about the people that you're looking at
It's for show
And everything you're doing there is just an act
I know I'm no saint
But baby tell me can you face the truth
It's your fix, oh you're living a lie
Are you listening?
Do you care about me?
Or are we moving different ways
Do you care about me?
I'm longing for your loving gaze
Please stop what you're doing
It's tearing down my self-esteem
Just stop what you're doing
I feel so small I wanna scream
For a moment in your life
Take a look into my eyes
Tell me what you're feeling, oh
I wanna know
But you don't give
A damn about the people that you're looking at
It's for show
And everything you're doing there is just an act
I know I'm no saint
But baby tell me can you face the truth
It's your fix, oh you're living a lie
Are you listening?
Why am I the one who's feeling low?
When I, used to be so strong, well now I know
Oh, I know what's causing all this pain
When I look at you I look in vain
Oh, I am caving in
But that's not my thing
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Oh you don't care 'bout anyone and that's a fact
It's for show
And everything you're doing there is just an act
I know I'm no saint
But baby tell me can you face the truth
It's your fix, oh you're living a lie
Are you listening?
