Listen

I'd been hearing these voices

But I wasn't really listening at all

You put your soul on ice

And I'd have never known you were leaving me

Until I saw that message on your phone

You spelled it out

You left no shadow of a doubt

The move is on

Just one more week and you'd be gone

How did it feel

When you kissed me was it real

We shared a bed

You lay still like you were dead

I should've listened to the voices singing clear

Why would a girl like you be hanging out 'round here

I believed but I guess I was tripping out on you

Now I feel like a fool

I guess we both made our choices

For the vanity of pleasing someone else

You took a piece of me for reasons I could guess

When I looked at you I knew that my boys would be impressed

You're looking good

You make that understood

The special one

About as loyal as a gun

You aim it high

No, it's not about the guy

It isn't fair

I gave it up 'cause I was scared

I should've listened to the voices singing loud

A woman ain't no thing to play with just to make you proud

I believed but I guess I was tripping out on you

Now I feel like a fool

I should've listened to the voices in my head

But I chose to close my eyes up and I trusted you instead

I believed but I guess I was tripping out on you

Now I feel like a fool

I should've listened to the voices in my ear

Something's gonna catch you up when you're acting out of fear

I believed but I guess I was tripping out on you

Now I feel like a fool
