Il testo della Listen

Well, i live too loud and i talk too much
But somehow i don't see it as such
Seems like what i love the most
Is the sound of my own voice

I pray my list and i say my piece
I check you off but i'm incomplete
Seems like what i'm missing most
Is the sound of your voice

So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do i feel the need
To always keep on talking?

Well, i know i need to hear from you
I know what i have got to do
To find what i've been missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn't know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But i have got so far to go

But why is my first reaction
To give my own opinion?
Like i could tell you something
You don't already know

So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do i feel the need
To always keep on talking?

Well, i know i need to hear from you
I know what i have got to do
To find what i've been missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah

So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do i feel the need
To always keep on talking?

Well, i know i need to hear from you
I know what i have got to do
I gotta find out what i'm missing

So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak?
Why do i feel the need
To always keep on talking?

Oh, i know i need to hear from you
I know what i have got to do
I gotta find out what i'm missing, yeah
I've gotta learn to listen

Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
Listen, listen, yeah, listen, listen, yeah
