Lyrics
You say I don't hear you
I say it's just what you do
Fingers pointed both self anointed
With fences up defensive love
You say Let's talk about it
O.K. If we can without our
Trigger fingers on the buttons
Shooting down any real discussion
Conversation's getting cold
This story's getting very old
Say I listen heart open
Say I take in every word spoken
Say I hold back say I don't just react
You might say I hear what you say
You say you can hear me
I say I'm trying but clearly
Sometimes this skin is too thick or thin
The fence goes up defensive love
I really want to understand
Understand I'm just a man
Say I listen heart open
Say I take in every word spoken
Say I hold back and don't just react
You might say I hear what you say
