You can say the words to their faces
They won't listen
You can sound it out any way you can
You can tell your dreams to the world
They won't listen
Your hopes and invention
Don't matter to them
But they matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens to me
Standing by like a hero with nothing to save
Up against all the water, wind, and the waves
Take a moment just to shield your face
Shut your mouth
Let your secrets keep their place
You'll tell them to no one
But you can tell them to me
You can tell them to me
And your sentiments are diamonds to me
They matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens to me
