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

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
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE (play intro riff throughout)
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 wanna have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways
(CHORUS) (The lyrics below are sung over the chorus, except the last line
which is played with the intro riff)
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
yeah 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
I don't want to have to hear it
