Despair for lack of better word I’m trying to listen To everything that you say Trying to not let my ego Stand in our way But I can’t comprehend Something has got to be missing Because I know that I can hear you But you still say I’m not listening So tell me what I have to do So the message will come through So I can prove that I love you So you can say you love me too Now I can tell that you’re angry About something I did or said But when you try to convince me The words just bounce off of my head And it’s not that I don’t care Or I wouldn’t have wrote this song But just maybe for once in my life I’m right And for once in your life you’re wrong So tell me what I have to do So the message will come through So I can prove that I love you So you can say you love me too
