 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
 With my headphones on
 With my headphones on

  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)
 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
