[Verse 1] I’ve said it once, I’ve said it twice, I’ve screamed until my throat went dry. Every word I try to give Just disappears before it hits. You look right through me like I’m air, Like nothing I could say is there. I keep reaching, you turn away, So tell me—what am I supposed to say? [Pre-Chorus] I’m knocking on a locked-up door, My hands are bleeding on the floor. How many times do I have to call Before you hear me at all? [Chorus] Can you hear me?! Or am I screaming at a wall? I’ve got something I need to say, But you don’t care at all. I’m so angry I could break, But underneath it, I just ache. I don’t want to fight anymore— I just want you to hear me! [Verse 2] I’ve tried being calm, I’ve tried being loud, I’ve tried disappearing in the crowd. I’ve changed my words a thousand ways, But you still look the other way. Do you even know what this has done? How many nights I’ve come undone? I’m carrying words I cannot release, And every silence steals my peace. [Pre-Chorus] I’m shouting underneath my breath, You leave me talking to myself. I’m standing right in front of you, So why can’t you see what I’m going through? [Chorus] Can you hear me?! Or am I screaming at a wall? I’ve got something I need to say, But you don’t care at all. I’m so angry I could break, But underneath it, I just ache. I don’t want to fight anymore— I just want you to hear me! [Bridge] Maybe if I scream louder, Maybe if I cry, Maybe if I tear my heart apart And leave it in your eyes— Would you finally listen? Would you finally stay? Or would every word I have Just get thrown away? I’m not asking you to fix me. I’m not asking you to agree. I’m only asking for one moment— Just listen to me! [Breakdown] I’M TALKING! I’M TRYING! WHY WON’T YOU LISTEN?! I’M HURTING! I’M ANGRY! BUT I STILL BELIEVE THERE’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM ME! [Final Chorus] Can you hear me?! I’m still screaming through it all! Even if you turn away, I’m still standing tall. Yeah, I’m angry, yeah, I’m hurt, Yeah, your silence makes it worse. But beneath every word I scream Is a voice that just wants to be heard. [Outro] So if you ever turn around, If you ever hear this sound… I won’t need to scream anymore. I’ll just say— “Please… listen.”
