You Can't Hear Me Now

The words smudged in black ink
The words don't have time to sink in
I'm stronger on paper
No sword's quite as sharp as my pen
But nothing that I write
Will change the fact that you were right mistaken
I'm sick of false hope
And there's nothing left to write again

After tonight what's the point in these letters
After tonight where's the power in these words
After tonight I will always remember
Nothing I say now will ever be heard

The laughter is missing
The laughing and kissing is gone
The good times are short lived
The days all seem three times too long
I'll stay here forever
In silence it goes on and on and on
And not that it matters
But I thought I mattered, I'm wrong

After tonight what's the point in these letters
(Now I stand here asking why)
After tonight where's the power in these words
(There's nothing left so I cry)
After tonight I will always remember
(I never could forget you)
Nothing I say now will ever be heard
(You can't hear me)

Nothing I do
Is ever gonna change you
Never gonna change your mind
And all the self assurance
In the world can't buy me
One more second of time

After tonight what's the point in these letters
(Now I stand here asking why)
After tonight where's the power in these words
(There's nothing left so I cry)
After tonight I will always remember
(I never could forget you)
After tonight nothing I say will ever be heard
(You can't hear me)

You can't hear me
You can't hear me.....now
