don't act up no, don't act up no, each time i'm
learning to listen, but what did you want to
hear, but what did you want to hear, self minded
you deny you fear, how am i back here, {and when
i look around i see we're all the same, yet
different ways to express how we're feeling, your
silence keeps you in line helps you push the blame
but my intensity does not deserve any guilt or
shame} back and forth i hear yes i do hear all
your words but my question is are you listening,
i won't let it get to me but who am i trying to
kid, what's right is right who said you're wrong
i did, how am i back here (repeat), the feeling
dwells in deep, the feeling dwells in deep, the
feeling dwells in, {chorus} now am i supposed to
just let it go continue when i feel it's wrong,
i'm standing i'm standing too straight for you,
and if you sit back that's fine but why is my
word so wrong to you, learning to listen
