Skylar Grey - Only Thing I Hear lyrics

My parents say that you'll never amount to much They say that I should be careful 'cause you're bad luck When I try to ignore them, they say, "Listen up, this is how it will be." I get so tired of listening to everyone Tell me what should I be feeling, what I should want So I try to ignore them but it never stops I just can't get any peace As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street, All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear What they don't know is that I am a lot like you It doesn't matter that we have an ocean view Though it's all picture perfect, unlike me and you They just fight all the time And I get so tired of listening to everyone Tell me I have everything that a girl should want Because under the surface this place is corrupt I just can't get any peace As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street, All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear When there's thunder in the sky (you're the only thing I hear) And the sirens blare at night (you're the only thing I hear) When there's gunshots in the street (you're the only thing I hear) There's no place I'd rather be (you're the only thing I hear) As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street, All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear
