Pay No Attention
Broken Hearts and Silent Cries
Lyrics
It's that kind of thinking baby
Expressing a pattern of thought causing trouble
That gets me in trouble
Consequence of the thinking leads to problems
Quit talking to me now baby
Requesting to cease communication
I just want be left alone
Desire for solitude
It's so simple for you to
Easy for the person to enter the speaker's life and disrupt it
Move into my world and break it
Entering the speaker's world results in its disruption
Well I can't take it
Unable to tolerate the disruption
Pay no attention to my broken heart
Ignoring the speaker's heartache
It doesn't matter my world's fallen apart
Belief that personal chaos is inconsequential
Solve this equation, my humilliation
Challenging others to understand the speaker's embarrassment
My eyes are a dead give away
Facial expressions reveal emotions
My ears to the phone
Attentiveness to phone conversations
My body's a tabloid paper
Comparing self to a publicized, scrutinized entity
If my smile didn't tell you all
Non-verbal cues may not convey the full story
See my sorry eyes
Eyes expressing regret or apology
And say your last goodbye
Implying an imminent farewell
The jury now decides
Leaving judgment to others
I'm not supposed to cry
Suppressing the urge to cry
Take away from me
Request to remove aspirations
All my hopes and dreams
Loss of hopes and ambitions
It's easy when you're all alone
Loneliness makes simple things challenging
And dying for someone to hold on to
Desperation for emotional support
