When I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what I asked you.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me why
I shouldn’t be feeling that way,
you trample on my feelings.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problem,
you have failed me.
When I ask you to listen to me,
and you go about telling everyone whats my problem
or criticize me and say hurtful words
you give me wounds that never heal.
As strange as you may think it seems,
you always say you'll listen but i can never truly speak.
You want me to listen and I do but when i ask you
to listen you turn me away.
CAN'T YOU JUST SHUT UP! Please don’t talk or do anything, just hear me,
All I ask is that you please listen to me.
