I Should Have Listened
I should have listened once to what
my ears were hearing.
If I had, I would have known
the end was nearing.
If I’d listened to your heart
when I should have,
I would’ve realized you’d given
all that you could give.
If I’d listened once
to what your eyes were saying,
I wouldn’t be here for your
presence praying.
If I’d listened when your silent tears
were falling,
I would have known your heart
to me was always calling.
I guess I always thought you’d
be here for me.
I never put your needs in front
of my needs.
And now I’m sitting here alone
without you.
And I know now that there’s nothing
else I can do.
