I don't have to hear it If I don't want to I can drown this out Pull the curtains down on you It's a heavy world It's too much for me to care If I close my eyes It's not there With my headphones on (×4) We watch television But the sound is something else Just a song played against the drama So the hurt is never felt I take in the war fires And I'm chilled by the current events It's so hopeless But there's a pop song in my head... -Phones on With my headphones on (×7) At the tube stop You sit down across from me (I can see you looking back at me) I think I know you By the sad eyes that I see And I wanna tell you (It's a heavy world) Everything will be OK But you wouldn't hear it (I don't want to have to hear it) So we go our separate ways With our headphones on (×16) I don't wanna be the one who Tries to figure it out I don't need another reason I should care about you You don't wanna know my story You don't wanna own my pain We're living in a heavy, heavy world And there's a pop song in my head And there's a pop song in my head Yeah it's a heavy world Oh no, I don't wanna have to hear it Heavy world No, I don't wanna have to hear it (×3)
