Listen to the Words

[Intro] Mm… yeah, yeah… I’m talkin’ to you, baby… But you don’t hear me though… [Verse 1] Tell me why you’d rather struggle, Talkin’ in code like you think I’m puzzled. I’m pourin’ yak in the bubbles, Lean in my p***h, got me lickin’ my knuckles. You dodge the truth like you scared of the light, But keep on steppin’ in the same old f***t. I’m spillin’ my soul and you changin’ the subject, Can’t heal love if you won’t even touch it. [Pre-Hook] Why you scared of the words I say? (Ooh, yeah) Why you run every time I pray for us? This ain’t a game I can play, I’m already losin’ too much. [Hook] Listen to the words I’m speakin’ (listen to me), It’s the only thing that’s keepin’ me from sinkin’ (oh, oh). You say I’m trippin’ ‘cause my voice be shakin’, But it’s the weight of the love we breakin’. Don’t turn away like you don’t know, This is the realest truth I’ll ever show. [Verse 2] You roll your eyes like I’m bein’ dramatic, But you the drug and I’m stuck in the habit. We toxic, but still can’t quit, Feelin’ like I’m drownin’ in a love that’s lit. I don’t want w*r but I’ll f***t for peace, You keep pushin’ me down, I keep findin’ my feet. You got walls like a fortress built, But I see through ‘em all to the pain you’ve spilt. [Pre-Hook] Every word is a wound I sew, (mmm) I’m just tryna let my heart show… But if you keep closin’ your door, I can’t love you no more. [Hook] Listen to the words I’m speakin’ (listen to me), It’s the only thing that’s keepin’ me from sinkin’ (oh, oh). You say I’m trippin’ ‘cause my voice be shakin’, But it’s the weight of the love we breakin’. Don’t turn away like you don’t know, This is the realest truth I’ll ever show. [Bridge] Don’t run from me… don’t run from me, no… I’m the one who’s been holdin’ you close. Yeah, you keep runnin’ from my eyes, But I see the fear you hide inside. We been here before, now the light feel dim, But I still want us to try again. [Final Hook] Listen to the words I’m speakin’ (yeah), It’s the only thing that’s keepin’ me from sinkin’. You say I’m trippin’ ‘cause my voice be shakin’, But it’s the weight of the love we breakin’. Don’t turn away like you don’t know, This is the realest truth I’ll ever show. [Outro] Mmm… listen… Listen to me… Before I go.
