Why don't you listen
Why don't you hear
Is it because you're afraid
Is it out of fear
Your lack of truly listening doesn't make sense
Are you really that dense?
You seem to only try to listen when things are a real mess
And to be quite honest, you don't do that with much success
The only time you truly listen is when you are just being nosy
You pretend all your relationships are just nice and rosy
You like to stick your nose where it doesn't belong
And you always think you do no wrong
Do you just not care what others have to say
Or is it because you always want your way
We all want to be heard
Don't you get it - it is absurd
You don't want to look at what's really inside
Because you're afraid and you just want to deny
Denying the truth and the way things really are
Is not going to make it any less bizarre.
Others get sick of just listening to you
We all have better things to do
You need to stop all that talk
Or everyone will eventually tell you "take a walk".
For once in your life, open your ears
Forget all your fears
Care a little more
Or soon you will be the one they all ignore.
