[Verse 1: Mark Hockings]
I say the wrong thing
And you just listen
We make our own world
And it glistens
And you still trust me
When I'm silent
You never judge me
When I'm violent
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hockings]
But when I need you
I really need you
Your lies are going round and round my head
When I need you
I really need you
I can't be sure that it won't hurt more
[Chorus: Mark Hockings & Richard Silverthorn]
It's just hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
It's just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
[Verse 2: Mark Hockings]
You take the whole man
Without condition
You wrote the whole plan
Around my vision
And I'm destructive
Too much ambition
You give me comfort
And ammunition
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hockings]
But when I need you
I really need you
Your lies are going round and round my head
When I need you
I really need you
I can't be sure that it won't hurt more
[Chorus: Mark Hockings & Richard Silverthorn]
It's just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
It's just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
[Post-Chorus: Mark Hockings]
It's just the wrong day for receiving
It's just the wrong day to believe in
In anything at all
To feel humble, to feel small
To feel grateful for the call
[Bridge: Mark Hockings & Richard Silverthorn]
I thought I knew you better than
Anyone
I thought I knew you better than
(when the world is crashing)
Anyone
(down around my ears)
[Chorus: Mark Hockings & Richard Silverthorn]
It's just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
It's just so hard to hear you
When the world is crashing down around my ears
[Outro: Mark Hockings & Richard Silverthorn]
I only wanted to hear
I thought I knew you better than
Anyone
I only wanted to hear
I thought I knew you better than
Anyone
I only wanted to hear
I thought I knew you better than
(when the world is crashing, when the world is crashing)
Anyone
(when the world is crashing down around my ears)
I only wanted to hear
