Lyrics
IF I HAD LISTENED
©2001 words and music by Marvin L. Adcock
Sittin? in the dark all alone
Readin? over what she says is wrong
My heart explodes with every breath as I memorize the note she left behind
I know every word from before
Cause everything I?ve heard and just ignored
She said I need someone who?s not afraid to lean on me sometimes
CHORUS
If I had listened to what she tried to say
Opened up my heart before it was to late
I would have realized what she was missin?
If only I had listened
She said I prayed for change and you to hear
How every day?s the same, the weeks, the years
I miss that old desire that burns inside like fire when love is new
I think you?ll realize after I?m gone
This emptiness inside just can?t go on
I hope you find someday someone who makes you feel the way we used to
CHORUS
If I had listened to what she tried to say
Opened up my heart before it was to late
I would have realized what she was missin?
If I had listened with more than just my ears
I?d be holdin? her instead of sittin? here
I should have realized what I?d be missin?
If only I had listened
