Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
Back in the place where it all began
Guess I'm running in a circle man
Damn, feel the bruises on my forehead
Well, couldn't take it and felt better ignoring
But as you do you came back knocking on my doorstep
Silly as I was choosing to live in my own fantasy
Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
I heard your urgings every day
But I just chose to wear my shades
To keep the pretty view when I stare straight
Into the eyes of the truth that rears its ugly face
Like Jack in the dream on a surround screen
I find a way to normalize the inconsistencies
Of my reality that's ridden with disharmony
That's harming me spiritually, mentally and emotionally
'Cause the animosity of my environment
Is hidden by a smile that is all pretend
I should've listened but I didn't then and I regret
That I didn't pay mind to the whisper in my chest
Deep down I know I have known
I can feel it in my bones that keep on ringing true
Deny and walk 'round blindfold (Blindfold)
Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
Should've better listened to you
Why didn't I?
Should've better listened when you
Told me the painful truth
