Haven’t You Heard
[Verse 1]
Well, you can worry that you've let us down
And you can fret about preferred pronouns
You can scratch until the pain is real
Know that numbness as the blood congeals

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts won't mend, and wounds aren't healing
The world won't care about how you're feeling

[Chorus]
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know I love you?

[Verse 2]
Bruised and beaten and defamed
Derided, bullied and slut-shamed
Why do they always take it far too far?
You wonder who and why the fuck you are

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no truе you, just today's persona
Gregarious extrovеrt, timid loner
[Chorus]
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know we love you?

[Post-Chorus]
And we'll be beside you
Don't let zealots and fools divide you
Sorry for the mess, we were trying our best
Our only hope now is you

[Bridge]
Reject the hand you've been dealt, refuse more of the same
Burn this hateful world to the ground, warm your hearts in its raging flames

[Chorus]
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know I love you?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you hear me?
Haven't you heard?
Didn't you know we love you?
