Lyrics Matthew Sweet – Hear This

I try but I can’t concentrate
Let them all deliberate
I love you but I can’t stand still
Got nobody’s shoes to fill

I hurt myself by rubbing raw
Go to far, can’t walk it off
I want to, I don’t care it’s wrong
Promise me you won’t be long

Hear this
Song in my heart
Words in my head
Carry my soul

At the bottom of the hanging tree
Carved into the bark you’ll see
I never finished writing it
Could not get my thoughts to fit

You know I know it isn’t cool
Slowly drowning in the pool
You want to find a reason why
I can never sympathize

Hear this
Song in my heart
Words in my head
Carry my soul

Hear this…
