[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
