Listen To Me

You never listen Yes I know it's true I see you try and deny it How's that working for you? I will say one thing You will hear another I will try to fix it The misunderstanding you see I just got in trouble (Sigh) I told you so They never listen to me They say they do And I know they try But all I want to do is scream "JUST LISTEN TO ME SOMEONE PLEASE" All I asked is that you think What is real? Do I ever ask this? Will I ever again? All I really did Was ask For friend All I want Is to be free Free to listen And free to be me Sadly though You'll never see Just how much your Not listening has killed me I have tried Really I did I know that I'm not eighty I know that I'm not nice But the only thing I asked For was five minutes (at the most) of your life. I'm sorry that you failed I'm sorry that I tried but Mostly I'm just sorry that I'm not sorry, Not anymore.
