If Only You Would Listen

I tried to talk to you the other day
you simply turned your head away
You didn't bother to hear what I wanted to say
you didn't even ask if I was OK

Leaving me quite mad and in a state of grief
I just wanted you talk to to gain some relief
But listening was too much for you to even do
now Im hurt that I wasn't enough to listen to

We have practically lived our lives together
meeting at a young age we longed for forever
but as grown ups now were drifting apart
I wish you knew the tales of my heart

But of course you don't and you know why
now my troubles build up and I hope not to cry
I only ask for you to be there
to listen and answer to show that you care

If thats too much for you I'm deeply distraught
I knew you loved me at least thats what I thought
but now I'm not so sure when you do things like this
it makes me wonder why Im so quickly dismissed

If only you would listen things would be much better
I could pour out my soul without writing you a letter
I won't have to hide the feelings I hold
I can just look into your eyes and you would already know
