Deaf Ears

Your deaf ears 
 and a tightness in my throat. 
 It's back to troubled sleep 
 on a bed of worries. 
 I'm doing my best 
 so why couldn't you try? 
 You're so scared of living 
 and of all the pain that comes with it. 
 You're going downhill too fast 
 and I'll turn away before you hit the tree.
 And when they pull lady luck 
 dead from the wreck, 
 I'll try not to say I told you so. 
 You're so scared of living 
 and of all the pain that comes with it.
