Hear Me Out

Sweet, little Baby Green

A one-time two step queen

When you work those hotel bars,

part of me goes there with you

Little girl, they told you lies

wrapped up in lullabies

and I tried to open doors

You would not walk through

 

And you’re further gone than I ever thought you’d be

and it’s killing me

 

How can you say nothing is wrong?

Baby, look at where you are

Hear me out

Hear me out

I know it’s there holding you strong,

but before it goes too far

Hear me out

Hear me out

 

I’ll tell you one thing that is true-

I know much more than you think I do

A part of us died on Bleecker Street

on that winter afternoon

So, you take a Prozac,

hope a broken angel will watch your back

Every night you go out is a snowstorm honeymoon

 

And you’re further gone than I ever thought you’d be

and it’s killing me

 

How can you say nothing is wrong?

Baby, look at where you are

Hear me out

Hear me out

I know it’s there holding you strong,

but before it goes too far

Hear me out

Hear me out

 And I pray for you

That God will pull you through

And eventually, you will see

that I tried day-to-day

to see things you way

Tried to open each and every door,

But I cannot play the savior anymore
