Chatter (from "Contest" soundtrack)

Everyone's talking just to fill some space
And everything's nothing till it means heartbreak
Words without power just evaporate
Don't wanna hear it today

Out here on a tight rope
High above a long road
What's the point of wishing
When nobody's listening
I'm listening

Hello, hello
This is my voice
Hello, hello
Through the white noise
Words only hurt when you let them matter
Don't let them matter
It's only chatter

It's like the world's lying
Just to make you small
Deafening whispers in an empty hall
Feel yourself fading to invisible
Don't wanna hear it at all, at all

'Cause louder than the joking
Is everything unspoken?
You don't need to feel me
Don't need to be near me
To hear me

Hello, hello
This is my voice
Hello, hello
Through the white noise
Words only hurt when you let them matter
Don't let them matter
It's only chatter

You know it don't matter
All of that clatter
Words that don't flatter, only make us sadder
Make your world shatter, stab you like a dagger
Leaving you in tatters
Only makes me madder

Don't wanna hear it today, today
Don't wanna hear it today, today

Hello, hello
This is my voice
Hello, hello
Through the white noise
Words only hurt when you let them matter
Don't let them matter
It's only chatter...

Hello, hello
This is my voice
Hello, hello
Through the white noise
Words only hurt when you let them matter
Don't let them matter
It's only chatter
