Barely Listening Lyrics

I lie awake on this phone call
She's dreaming of better days
Flowers lie on the counter
Remind her of better days
She sends a prayer up to Jesus
And she asks Him for His strength
And the night will go on bleeding
Was it faith that paid the rent?

(chrous:)
And I know you're barely listening
I know you're barely listening
I know you're barely listening
Now I know you're...
I know you're barely listening
I know you're barely listening
I know you're barely listening
Now I know you're...
Standing here in the doorway
With a candle and a gun
The lights you threw open windows
For now the day has won

(chorus)

Like a child on her way here
You just smile and run the other way
Faith won't find you a reason
It just smiles and runs the other way
And it just smiles...
It just smiles and runs the other way
It just smiles...
It just smiles and then runs the other way
It's not worth waiting ...

(chrous)

You can't shape love with a hammer,
You can't shape love with a will,
What horror lies in knowing
There's no fate that chaos can't kill
