Soundblock

She told him she loved him but he didn't hear
It was like he had on headphones that blocked out the sound
He saw her but at the same time he didn't really see
The ghost of her image was all that registered on the screen of his mind
She wanted to scream and pull his headphones off and turn the music down
But all she could do was bite her lip and turn the corner
She could feel his hand on hers
He could give her what she wanted
But what she needed was for him to care
Not kiss the other girl with his hand stroking her hair and her back
She wanted to scream and pull his headphones off and turn the music down
But all she could do was bite her lip and turn the corner
The music played louder now
She covered her ears
But like a bad radio song it wouldn't leave her head
He looked at the other girl like he was tasting cotton candy
What he got in return was just that much sweeter
She wanted to scream and pull his headphones off and turn the music down
But all she could do was bite her lip and turn the corner
He told her he was sorry but she didn't hear
It was like she had on headphones that blocked out the sound
She saw him and this time she really did see
Through him like a piece of tourmaline
She still wanted to scream but she turned the volume up
So she held her head high and turned the corner
