Lyrics
Listen To Me
Written by: Melissa Hollick
Sometimes we try to touch the sun
Just capture extracts, stream the light of its fun
These selfish minds combine as one
Forget the things, everything that we've done
I'm dreaming, believing
It's more strength than what you
give to me
What's the moon without a sun
Reflective shield
It's struggling
Ahhhhh.
Save your symphony
Your pretty melody Is struggling
What is the answer?
Listen to me,
I'm struggling
What is the answer?
Listen to me
Compromise within your mind
What is good and bad and
plain old sad
Just leave it all behind
Embrace the youth, it's still aglow
The embers in my blissful life,
they need to be on show
I'm dreaming, believing
It's more strength than what you give to me
What's the moon without a sun
Reflective shield
It's struggling
Ahhhhh.
Save your symphony
Your pretty melody Is struggling
What is the answer?
Listen to me,
I'm struggling
What is the answer?
Listen to me
You wont find me here
I'm too far gone
I'll be back soon
With my head screwed on.
