Listen
Two years ago, almost to this very day
We sat down to talk, said things that we had to say
Since then nothing's ever felt quite the same
Sometimes in life things just have to change
Remember that time that I had a bad dream
You said son, come and tell me what happened
So I told it to you, I replayed every scene
You could tell I had really been frightened
You laughed a little, then held me so tight
Because you had listened, I slept through the night
With no fear of monsters there, because I knew you cared
So why won't you just listen this time
'Cause it hurts, you don't have to agree
But it hurts that you don't even see
I love you so I'm trying to hear you
All I ask is just to be heard
Conversations quickly grow ugly
They turn to battles with swords shaped like words
I'll do my best to see things through your eyes
Won't you please just see things through mine
I know perfect's not possible
Don't need to say that I'm right
I just need you to listen
Need you to listen
What do I say, what is it I'm supposed to do
I refuse to give in, but also to give up on you
You're aching inside, finding ways through the pain
The monsters I feared are staring us in the face
I won't give up, I won't run
I'm staying because I'm your son
I am the man you see today, 'cause you showed me the way
But it's hard to feel loved when it's hard to feel heard
'Cause it hurts, you don't have to agree
But it hurts that you don't even see
I love you so I'm trying to hear you
All I ask is just to be heard
Conversations quickly grow ugly
They turn to battles with swords shaped like words
I'll do my best to see things through your eyes
Won't you please just see things through mine
I know perfect's not possible
Don't need to say that I'm right
I just need you to listen
Maybe someday we'll see eye to eye
And maybe someday this won't make you cry
Maybe someday we'll understand why
Things had to go this way
But until that day
I love you so I'm trying to hear you
All I ask is just to be heard
Conversations quickly grow ugly
They turn to battles with swords shaped like words
I'll do my best to see things through your eyes
Won't you please just see things through mine
I know perfect's not possible
Don't need to say that I'm right
I just need you to listen
Need you to listen
Need you to listen
We sat down to talk, said things that we had to say
