Translucent, I'm hardly seen, I'm never heard

Am I on mute, am I on mute

You break me down

You break my heart, tear it apart

What is the root

What did I do

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Tell me

Why do you shut me out when words come out my mouth

They just don't make it your way

Why is it so hard to say

That you're sorry

You're the adult, so you're never wrong,

Right, yeah that's the way we're raised

I'm begging you, please, change your ways

I'd feel some type of way, but you got your point of view

So when your eyes mine don't matter

Hence, why I can't talk to you

That's the reason you're deaf to my words, cause you're scared that they could be true

And I doesn't sit right with you, so

In conclusion, you have me mute

If I make a valid point, you take it as disrespect

You won't give me the time of day, because mother knows best

You make me feel so small but through it all I still got love for you mama

I'm so strong, I'm so strong

I rebuild through the trauma

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen, Listen

Listen, Listen

(Listen to me, you got to listen to me, listen to me, you got to listen to me)

Listen, Listen

(Listen to me, you got to listen to me, listen to me, listen to me)

I'd write you a letter, hoping to reach you better

But then you hand it back, saying you won't read it ever

Please, I'm telling you, oh I, listen to me

(Listen to me, you got to listen to me)

Please

(Listen to me, you got to listen to me)

Oh I, listen to me please

(Listen to me, you got to listen to me, listen to me, listen to me)
