Headphones

I may look like I'm listening
But the music isn't playing
What I'm really hearing
Is what people are saying

Thinking I can't hear them,
Oh, but yes I can
They can all say what they want
But I have a plan

This plan is to pretend
And act like I'm alright
I'll cry when I get home
Late into the night

I do it everyday
Put my headphones on
Listening to what they say
But I soon will be gone
