Story Behind The Song

based on a relationship where one partner felt all was perfect, wouldn't admit love was on the rocks, wouldn't hear that things needed to change; the other partner was ready to quit

Song Description

When you've got one foot out the door and your partner just doesn't want to let you go-won't admit or hear that it's over

Lyrics

Fall on Your Deaf Ears

Do you imagine we're valentines
We sit in silence most nights
And wide awake I lay
in bed thinking today
I'll wake you from delusion
I'll break your heart gently

But it will fall-fall-fall
It will fall-fall
On your deaf ears
Your deaf ears

Just stole a sunset-alone, alone
My mind's all chatter and drones
And while I walk I cry
No more reasons to stay
Can't force down false affection
and spit out love's decay

But it will fall-fall-fall
It will fall-fall
On your deaf ears

So tell me how to tell you
Words that you don't want to hear
And tell me how to tell you
All my love has disappeared
And tell me how to tell you
That you haven't been my only one
I'll tell you I'm already gone

But it will fall-fall-fall
It will fall-fall
It will fall-it will fall
It will fall-it will fall
Fall, fall, fall
On your deaf ears
Your deaf ears
Your deaf ears
Your deaf ears
