If we can learn to really listen
Things begin to make more sense
We could avoid misunderstandings
If we could learn to hear ourselves
When we purposely avoided
Conversations and disputes
Sacrificing painful lessons
Denial overtook our truth
If we learn to speak in earnest
Strength can overcome the pain
If we learn to just be honest
Love ourselves and try again
If we never put it out there
Nothing comes back in return
It's not all bitter disappointment
There is something to be learned
If we can learn to really listen
Things begin to make more sense
We could avoid misunderstandings
If we could learn to hear ourselves
