Listen

Well, I live too loud and talk too much

But somehow I don't see it as such

Seems like what I love the most

Is the sound of my own voice

I pray my list and say my piece

I check you off but I'm incomplete

Seems like what I'm missing the most

Is the sound of your voice

So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak?

Why do I feel the need

To always keep on talking?

Well, I know I need to hear from you

I know what I have got to do

To find what I've been missing, yeah

I gotta learn to listen

A wise man hears before he speaks

He knows he doesn't know everything

I wish that sounded more like me

But I have got so far to go

But why is my first reaction

To give my own opinion?

Like I could tell you something

You don't already know

So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak?

Why do I feel the need

To always keep on talking?

Well, I know I need to hear from you

I know what I have got to do

To find what I've been missing, yeah

I gotta learn to listen

Yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak?

Why do I feel the need

To always keep on talking?

Well, I know I need to hear from you

I know what I have got to do

I gotta find out what I'm missing

So why is it so hard for me

To shut my mouth and let you speak?

Why do I feel the need

To always keep on talking?

Well, I know I need to hear from you

I know what I have got to do

I gotta find out what I'm missing, yeah

I gotta learn to listen

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
