lyrics

VS1
Can anybody hear me now
Just another voice in the crowd
We’re all screamin’ at the top of our lungs
Dying inside & pretending it’s fun
But no one can hear us now
Cause no one’s listening when

CH1
Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing
“I don’t wanna hurt. I don’t wanna cry.
Want someone to tell me it’ll be alright.”
Everybody’s singin’ the same song.

VS2
Will anybody see me bleed
If I keep the cuts inside of me
We’re all layin’ on the edge of a knife
Will anybody miss us if we let it slide
No one will see us bleed
Cause no one’s listening when

CH2
Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing
“I don’t wanna hurt. I don’t wanna cry.
Want someone to tell me it’ll be alright.”
Everybody’s singin’ the same song

BR
Everybody hides cause we’re
Scared of what we’ll find
We build up a lie to keep it all out
But it all comes crashin’ down
When everyone sings
“I hear you now”

CH3
Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing
“I don’t wanna hurt. I don’t wanna cry.
Want someone to tell me it’ll be alright.”
Yeah Everybody’s singin’ the same song.
Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing
“I just want some love. I just want some peace.
Want someone to take this weight that’s killing me.”
Everybody’s singin’ the same song.
Can anybody hear me now?
