Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You alway talk, talk, talk all the time

You never let me get in a word

I wish I had, I had a dime

For every thought I've swallowed unheard

No matter what it is that I do

It's like I just can't seem to get through

[Verse 2]

I've got so much to say

If only you would listen

I've tried every which way

And still you never listen

Can't you see I'm hurting?

I couldn't be more clear

But I promise one day, I'll make you hear

[Verse 3]

You know I try, try, try to explain

I'm not the kid you want me to be

And yet it's all, it's all in vain

You just don't wanna see the real me

You think you know what I'm all about

And yet you just keep shutting me out

[Verse 4]

I've got so much to share

If only you would listen

You could prove that you care

If only you would listen

I'm not gonna beg you

You'll never see a tear

But I promise one day, I'll make you hear

[Verse 5]

Yeah, you'll see one day

I'm gonna make you hear me

Gotta find a way

But you are gonna hear me

Got so much to say

And I'm gonna make you hear me

Maybe then you'll listen

You gotta listen

You need to listen

You better listen

[Verse 6]

I've got so much inside

If only you would listen

Joy and anger and pride

If only you would listen

It's not much I'm asking

I only want your ear

Yeah, I promise one day, I'll make you hear

[Verse 7]

It's not much I'm asking

I only want your ear

And I promise one day, I'll shake you

So damn hard that at last I'll wake you

Yeah, I promise one day, I'll make you hear
