How To Listen

How To Listen Always wanted to talk to you mom and dad, I never knew what to say. I tried to listen to your advice, But couldn't pay attention anyway. Wish i could've been better to you But bitterness was just my way. I'm sorry, though, just so you know, I never meant it in an evil way. We never knew how to speak to one another, We were never good at listenin' But somewhere between the lines we read We found what we'd been missin' Remember when i cried was haunted? Upset cause i couldn't be who i wanted And didn't like who i was. You just sighed, i think because, Your life didn't turn out your way So you had nothing to say. We never knew how to speak to one another, We were never good at listenin' But somewhere between the lines we read We found what we'd been missin' Then there is my sis named Chris, We barely talked and often yelled. But when my nieces born that day By me they were loved and held. An i wasn't always there for B&T.. For that i'm forever sorry. But that was then and this is now. We are all doing the best we know how. An i think if we stick together for a whie This life journey won't seem like too many miles.
