[Intro - sad keyboard play] [Verse 1] why does no one ever listen to me? you always ask like you care you say “why won't you tell me what's wrong?” But when I open up, you’re not even listening... I want to tell you something important but you don't listen You want everything to be about yourself I keep trying to talk to you about me, my feelings and everything else but you just don't care and shove it away [Pre-Chorus] You say you wanna know You say you want to help me but when I let it show you go cold, you go [Chorus] You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me And when I talk, you turn away that hurts more than what I was going to say You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me I need you here, I need you now don’t leave me hanging like this now [background] (why do you not wanna listen to me?) (can you please tell me that?) (and just don't ask if you don't even care...) [Bridge -violin play] [Verse 2] I don’t need a fake friend I don’t need someone who acts like they care I just need someone who listens to me Someone who will stay if my problems start to pile up again I’m tired of “are you okay?” If you know me, then you know I'm an open book if I go quite then there is something wrong with me [Pre-Chorus] You say you wanna know You say you want to help me but when I let it show you go cold, you go [Chorus] You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me And when I talk, you turn away that hurts more than what I was going to say You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me I need you here, I need you now don’t leave me hanging like this now [background] (why do you not wanna listen to me?) (can you please tell me that?) (and just don't ask if you don't even care...) If I say it soft, will you hear it? If I say it loud, will you fear it? I’m not trying to be too much I’m just trying to be enough... [Final Chorus] You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me And when I talk, you turn away that hurts more than what I was going to say You don’t wanna listen to me you don’t even care about me I need you here, I need you now don’t leave me hanging like this now [background] (why do you not wanna listen to me?) (can you please tell me that?) (and just don't ask if you don't even care...) [Outro - quite keyboard]
