Around His Ears by Emma Davis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He fooled your heart, he fooled your soul
He filled you up with all false hopes
And somebody tells you now
That he has gone

He packed his things so suddenly
And left the deck where you would meet
And talk about all the things
You didn't understand

[Chorus]
Well now he stumbles, the world comes tumbling down
Around his ears
He tried to get out, he tried to shout out loudly
But no one seemed to hear

[Post–Chorus 1]
He said, "I've tried, I've wondered why my mind
Must work like this
I wish I could stop these tears"
[Verse 2]
You stood and watch so quietly proud
He filled the room with all his doubts
The sounds of a hurting heart
And broken mind

You never knew, he never said
He never let you try to help
'Cause somehow he'd work it out
And then come home

[Chorus]
Well now he stumbles, the world comes tumbling down
Around his ears
He tried to get out, he tried to shout out loudly
But no one seemed to hear

[Post–Chorus 2]
He said, "I've tried, I've wondered why my mind
Must work like this
I wish I could stop these tears
I'm sick of having all these fears
I'm tired of having people near
To me"
