I don’t want to hear your voice
Only when you’d like to charm me
Or when you feel like laughing
Or romantically disarm me.
I want to hear your voice
when you crawl into crazy
And nothing makes sense
Logic fails, your mind betrays.
I want to hear your voice
When you want to be alone
And sadness is winning
Tears are falling and bleakness comes.
I want to hear your voice
When no one can console you
It’s all too much and goes beyond
What any mortal man could do.
I want to hear your voice
And suffer with you, feel your pain
To listen, have compassion
Your rage and sorrow to contain.
I want to hear your voice
The only thing worse, I know,
Than feeling it with you
Is imagining you suffering alone.
