"Listen to me!"

Lend me your ear
I've got something to say
No sugar coated words
Just a pure heart-ache

Would you wash away lhese tears?
Would you catch 'em as they fall?
The opposite is true
I feel l'm screaming at a wall

l can help you
You won't help yourself
Hide behind your wall
Trust nobody else

Listen to me!
Why won't you listen to me?
Words are crawling out
There's no escaping

You say my thrifty words
Waste your expensive time
But held inside each breath
ls a one patient concern of mine

But you and I both
Keep pushing it away
So maybe it is both our fault
That you are here and still this way

Look me in the eyes!
I know what I speak of
If you don‘t get your act together
This will come back to me

Listen to me!
Why won't you listen to me?
Words are crawling out
There's no escaping

I know what I know
Yes I know that I know
Give me your ear
And I'll treat you safely

Believin' or not there was a time
When I was king of the world
I was top of my class
I was pushing so hard score
The beauty in my life
In a place when now it's just broken
I know how to fix the fortune
Comings out the broken

Listen to me!
Why won't you listen to me?
Words are crawling out
There's no escaping

I know what I know
Yes I know that I know
Give me your ear
And I'll treat you safely

It's right here in all my books
There is no denying
You tune me out but I'm still her
So I will keep on talking

I know everything
There is to know
I know that I know

In your Iittle head
You think I can't relate
Your ghost making up lies
That I know nothing

For years I worked
Slaved over volumes
The numbers prove
I know what I am doing

I know that I know

Listen to me!
Why won't you listen to me?
Words are crawling out
There's no escaping

I know what I know
Yes I know that I know
Give me your ear
And I'll treat you safely

Listen to me!
Why won't you listen to me?
Words are crawling out
There's no escaping

I know what I know
Yes I know that I know
Give me your ear
And I'll treat you safely
