lyrics

How many times will you stay it out
With a full deck of cards in your hand?
Hanging on to every word
Waiting for your perfect chance

You got stars up your sleeve
But you never roll them up and let them out
But your setup is perfect
Every detail planned ahead and thought out

But every time your heart breaks in two
Every time your heart breaks in two
And you're done

You, you never listen
You, you never listen

You count every step you take at night
When you walk home late from work
But you can't recall the last time
You kissed first

All the notes are in your head
Carefully arranged, beautifully arranged
But when it comes time to play they are
Scattered on the page

And every time your heart breaks in two
Every time your heart breaks in two
And you're done

You, you never listen
You, you never listen

I've been waiting to catch you
But you never let yourself fall
And when I tell you that I'd love you if you'd let me
You don't hear me at all

You, you never listen
You, you never listen
