You're just an ear for other people's pain
They don't want your input
They wanna share the strain

You don't have to listen
Or lend a helping hand
You can't help in your position
To help them understand
There is more to life than
What they've come to know

They don't care what you say
The don't hear your loss
They don't care what you say
Because you'll listen to anything that say
Which they believe is true
They don't see you suffer
They don't mind that you do
They don't see you suffer
As long as they suffer too

I could stay forever
with my thoughts in the dark
Never volunteer them
Because they won't make a mark
I am only here for
They are never there

Who's to listen to me
When I've an ear to lend
Who's to care what I say
If they don't comprehend
Who's to listen to me
When I've got no friends

No one understands me
I am all alone
I guess that's why I listen
So they are not alone

I don't want tomorrow
To come along the bend
My hope is growing thin now
The day is coming to an end
What's to happen to me
I am not a friend
What's to happen to me
I'm just an ear to lend
