i'm not ignoring - maeve noiré lyrics

you call my name from across the room and act shocked when i don’t turn around
then whisper to your friend that i’m stuck*up, distant, or too good to hear the sound
you roll your eyes like i’m choosing silence, like i’m brushing you off on purpose
when the truth is your words never reached me, never broke the surface

you speak behind me, beside me, halfway across a crowded sp*ce
then blame my “attitude” when i don’t react the sеcond your voice hits the place
it’s funny how quickly i bеcome the villain in your little social sphere—
i’m not cold, not rude, not distant…
i just didn’t hear

if you slowed down, faced me, or cared enough to be clear
you’d see i’m not avoiding you—
i’m just trying to exist in a world built on what i can’t hear

i’m not ignoring you, i just didn’t hear
but you turn my silence into attitude every single year
you judge my face, my pause, my delay
like i planned not to answer what you tried to say
i’m not distant, not heartless, not playing aloof—
i’m navigating chaos you mistake for proof
i’m not ignoring you—
i just didn’t hear…
but somehow you make my silence the sin you fear

you get mad when i don’t laugh at the joke you made on the other side of the noise
like timing is a privilege i can summon on command, like i perform reactions like toys
you say, “wow, she didn’t even respond,”
as if i caught a single cue
as if your words weren’t lost in the ocean
that separates me from you
then you label me “antisocial,” “weird,” or “off to herself,”
never once considering the possibility
that it’s your assumptions—
not my deafness—
that put me on that shelf
you make my misunderstanding a crime
my silence a flaw
my delay an insult…
when all i needed
was one moment more
one simple adjustment
one ounce of grace that you never saw

maybe if you faced me, slowed down, spoke like communication matters
you’d stop mistaking distance for rudeness
and see the truth beneath the shatters

i’m not ignoring you, i just didn’t hear
but you make it a personality trait every time you misinterpret the atmosphere
i’m not cold, not careless, not choosing to disappear—
i’m living with delays you decided to sneer
you take my silence personally, like it’s some kind of dare
but it’s just the distance between your voice
and the volume that isn’t there
i’m not ignoring you—
i just didn’t hear…
but you turn my confusion into something severe
don’t call me rude
for not reacting to a sound i never caught
don’t call me distant
when your lips were moving in a place my eyes were not
don’t call me cold
because you whispered from the wrong side
if you want my attention—
face me
it’s not attitude
it’s access
stop acting surprised

i’m not ignoring you, i just didn’t hear
but your assumptions turn every missed word into a spear
i’m not a problem, not dramatic, not hard to be near—
you’re just offended by a silence
you refused to make clear
if you want connection
meet me halfway this year—
i’m not avoiding you…
i just didn’t hear
