Try Not To Listen

Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds

Takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground

It can make you feel love like you've never felt before

Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors

For a song is more powerful than most people think

Go ahead and sit by the jukebox and order up a drink

And try not to listen, try not to hear the words

For that song that's always haunted you is always gonna be heard

I hope you listen to my songs, I hope you listen to what I say

This song's my life and that's the reason, oh the reason that I was made

Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing as loud as I can

And I scream and yell at the crowd hoping that they understand

And sometimes they yell back and it's as crazy as it can be

And I think to myself, what a hell of a life I lead

Sometimes it's just real slow and tender as it can be

And I look into your eyes and I wish you could see what I see

You may not want to listen, you may not like my style

But I promise you before the end of the night, there's something you're gonna realize
