Hardly Speaking A Word Lyrics - Lori Mckenna

Well I know your life has been hard 

I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart 

When your eyes move down to the floor 

And your mouth changes shape, and your voice sounds sore 

I can hold you close in my arms 

And tell you that you're special 

And that you treasure such great charms 

And that you always keep my heart full 

But I'm hardly speaking a word 

I'm hardly speaking a word

And I know these things should be heard 

But I'm hardly speaking a word 

And your struggle never changes me 

I'll never be able to see the things you see 

They say that you see things differently 

Just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be free 

But I'm hardly speaking a word 

I'm hardly speaking a word 

So I wonder, what do they know 

Maybe the problem is me not letting go 

Of a little boy who's smarter than me 

Who can't sit still and sees things differently 

And I'm yelling when I should be whispering 

I'm pushing when I should be carrying 

And I don't understand anything I've heard 

I should be yelling I love you 

But I'm hardly speaking a word

So I wonder, what do I know 

Maybe the problem is me not letting go 

Of a little boy who's smarter than me 

Who can't sit still and sees things differently 

And I'm yelling when I should be whispering 

And I'm pushing when I should be carrying 

And I don't understand anything I've heard 

I should be yelling I love you 

I should be yelling I love you 

I should be yelling I love you 

But I'm hardly speaking a word
