Becca Stevens - How to Listen Lyrics




It's not fair you get to leave again
Untimely fleeing me again
You act so flattered when I say it hurts
As if I've scratched an itch for you
Fulfilled your deepest wishing to feel
Needed, longed for and deserved

But you've forgotten mine again
The need you promised you would tend to
When you took my hand until the end
Sometimes I think you hurt me just to
Keep feeling down
And keep me just to make me cry
So I won't get too proud

When you left this morning
You had so much to do
You didn't say goodbye to me
That left me feeling blue
And through the day In dreams awake
I pictured me and you
Suppertime and wine and kissing
Underneath the moon

But after of 10 you stumbled in
And kicked off both your shoes
There wasn't space for me amidst
The mess of all that you went through
Cause It's all about you

Crack of dawn it's working on
Our calls and rendezvous
I lay there hoping you'll see me
Beyond the screen in front of you
My voice is a distraction
From the Sunday morning news
My face gives off the feeling that
Somehow I disapprove of you

If all my love is keeping ya from
What you need to do
I'm inclined to step aside and
Make a little room
Cause it's all about you

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you

I thought a little time apart
Would make you see my perfect heart
And set aside your ways and finally fix em
But through the tears, to my surprise
The distance made me realize
That I've been dyin' for you to find what's missing
When all the while your love for me was
Steady like a sturdy tree
Just swaying while I'm learning how to listen

On my own I can remember
What it is I'm here to do
And tend the glowing ember
Of the love I have for me and you
I try to keep it up when little
Nothings get me down but
Forgetfulness comes easy when
My dizzy feet lose steady ground

My darling I am all bout gettin'
Good at loving you
But I go blind when we're unkind
And start to think the lie is true
That it's all about you

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you

I thought if I ignored you too
You'd see my perfect love for you
And rub my feet and make more time for kissin'
But this part I'm ashamed to say
I brush you off to make you stay
Which only tires you out and thins your patience
When all the while your love for me is
Steady like a sturdy tree
Just swaying while I'm learning how to listen
When all the while your love for me is
Steady like a sturdy tree
Just swaying while I'm learning how to listen"
