Why don’t you listen? Why don’t you listen… [Verse 1] You come to me with the same old pain Spilling your stories again and again I give you the truth, I show you the way But you never change, it’s always the same You drag me down with every call Asking for answers, but you want none at all I’m tired of playing your rescue line When you don’t hear a word of mine [Pre-Chorus ] I try to guide you, but you close your ears You feed your doubts, you hold your fears If you don’t want to change, then why pretend? I can’t keep running in circles again [Chorus] Why don’t you listen? I’m breaking, I’m giving, but you don’t hear a word I say Why don’t you listen? You’re lost in your prison, and you just throw it all my way I can’t save you, I can’t fix this If you won’t even try to shift it Why don’t you listen? Why don’t you listen? [Verse 2] You say you’re stuck, that life’s unfair But you never move, you just sit and stare You ask me why, I tell you how But you shut me out, like it’s nothing now You waste my time, you drain my soul I can’t be the one to make you whole If the answers burn in your closed-off mind Then I’m done trying, I won’t rewind [Pre-Chorus ] I try to guide you, but you close your ears You feed your doubts, you hold your fears If you don’t want to change, then why pretend? I won’t keep running in circles again [Chorus] Why don’t you listen? I’m breaking, I’m giving, but you don’t hear a word I say Why don’t you listen? You’re lost in your prison, and you just throw it all my way I can’t save you, I can’t fix this If you won’t even try to shift it Why don’t you listen? Why don’t you listen? [Bridge ] (Whispered female vocal): I’ve said it a thousand times… (Ethereal layers): But you never hear… never hear… (Lead vocal, emotional): If you don’t want the truth… then why ask me? [Chorus ] Why don’t you listen? I’m breaking, I’m giving, but you don’t hear a word I say Why don’t you listen? You’re lost in your prison, and you just throw it all my way I can’t save you, I can’t fix this If you won’t even try to shift it Why don’t you listen? Why don’t you listen? [Outro ] (Whisper): Why don’t you listen? Listen… listen…
