"Pain is pain. It could be physical or mental, but all in all? Everyone's hurting."


Have you ever had
The kind of friend
Who wants to know everything;
Who looks into your mind,
And digs way down deep?

When they hit a nerve,
Do you breakdown
So happy to let it out?
Or does something...
Something inside,
Just wanna scream


(chorus)
Listen to me!
Listen to the words in every beat of silence...
The silence of my mind.
If you just tried,
Took the time
You'd come to find
The feelings I've learned to hide
By listening...
Just listening to me.


When her heart is broken,
And the pain is on her face
Do you dig into the smoken' ashes-
Point out her mistakes?
Or do you simply listen (listen)
To the words that she's screaming
In the silence of her tears?


(chorus)
Listen to me!
Listen to the words in the beat of my broken heart...
I'm torn apart.
If you just tried
Took the time
You'd come to find
The feelings I've learned to hide
By listening...
Please listen to me!


(bridge)
When your soul is numb,
Everything around you's just undone
And you're trying so hard not to cry...
Hear what your heart is saying,
Give it some time-
Give listening a try.


(chorus-end)
Listen to me,
Listen to the words in every beat
of silence...
The silence of my mind!
Listen to her,
Listen to the words in the beat of her broken heart-
Don't try to tear her mind apart!
If you just tried
Took the time
You'd come to find...
All you have to do,
Is listen.
