Listen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I live too loud, and I 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 I say my piece I check you off, but I'm incomplete Seems like what I'm missing most Is the sound of Your voice [Chorus] 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've gotta learn to listen [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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've gotta learn to listen [Bridge] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah [Chorus] 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've gotta learn to listen 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? Oh, I know I need to hear from You I know what I have got to do I've gotta find out what I'm missing, yeah I've gotta learn to listen [Outro] Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah Listen, listen, yeah, listen, to listen
