Poem Title:
Poem
You told me not to trust him You told me that he lied You told me he would hurt me I didn't listen I was blind I wandered an unfamiliar path To a place filled with sweets and joy That didn't seem to last I spent all that night crying On your shoulder I believe Those unforgettable three words you told to me I guessed that they were coming I just didn't want to hear You put your arms around me and said I told you so my dear If only I had listened I wouldn't be so hurt You told me once You told me twice Well now me ears are open Ready to heed your every word Only now your mouth is shut My ears are open now My ears are open now You told me not to trust her You told me that she lied You told me she would hurt me I didn't listen I was blind Confused and thoughtless I continued down the winding path This time though the sweets were sour and the joy had lost its laugh I had to watch her cry with tears in my own eyes Those unforgettable three words you told to me This time I knew they were coming Still I didn't want to hear You held me tight in your arms and said I told you so my dear If only I had listened I wouldn't be so hurt You told me once You told me twice Well now me ears are open Ready to heed your every word Only now your mouth is shut My ears are open now My ears are open now You told me not to trust them You told me that they lied You told me they would hurt me I didn't listen I was blind Lost and scared I think Stuck on this path I feel real regret Even as I taste my sweetest joy and reach out for a laugh It seems too right It must be wrong And you don't even know him I wait for those three unforgettable words but now nothing comes for me Instead he says something in my ear He put his arms around me and said I love you my dear Oh my ears are open now My ears are open now But you are silenced and your mouth is all sewn up Oh my ears are open now My ears are open now (x2)
