Listen

Listen and I'll try to do the same

To take my share of blame

For what went wrong

Listen to the girl you used to know

The one who loved you so

For oh so long

I can hear our voices ringing in my head

Two girls laughing, singing on the bed

You'll hear them too, all you need to do

Is listen

Listen, open your heart and forgive me

Give what I need you to give me

Give me happy back, I need my happy back

Please, sister please, oh

I have been so all alone

Oh, won't you help me, I fear

I lost myself, now I can't see

Who it is I'm supposed to be

And now I just

Don't know

Listen to the girl you used to know

The one that loved you so

Back in the day

Oh Deena, girl, I know what you're going through

I got through it and you can too

Now it's your turn, you've got to learn

To listen

Listen, there is a voice deep inside you

This is the voice that will guide you

To where you need to be

It will set you free

Take it from me

Oh, it's a long and lonely road

Whoa girl, you've got to take it

It's gonna hurt like hell today

But trust me, girl, that'll go away

It goes away

I do't wanna do it alone

Will you help me, help me be strong?

Please, sister please, yeah

Lord, I will listen to the girl I used to know

The one who loved you so

Back in the day

Now I know what I must do

I'm gonna leave him, sister

I will be strong, I know I can

Gonna pick myself up and leave that man

I'm gonna make it on my own

On my own!
