Listen To Me - Henning Pauly
Listen to me
Lend me your ear
I've got something to say
No sugar coated words
Just a pure heartache
Would you wash away these tears
Would you catch them as they fall
The opposite is true
I feel I'm screaming at a wall
I 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
Is 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
Believing 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 turn me out but I'm still here
So I will keep on talking
I know everything
There is to know
I know that I know
In your little 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
