Is it too much to ask for you to laugh?

Is it too much to ask that you don’t think too deep?

I just wanna wrap my arms around you

Hold you close to me and wish away your sorrow

Is it too much to ask you to take a break

From all that gloominess you partake?

But it seems my words go right on through

Chorus: Why don’t you listen?

Instead of saying you don’t care

Why don’t you listen?

And see what is really there

Why can’t you see

There are two sides to every coin?

Is it too much to ask

For you to see another’s point of view?

Is it too much to ask

For you to let down your guard?

Is it too much to ask

For you to trust in me?

Is it too much to ask

That you show your true self to me?

I know it’s been hard, it’s been hell

Don’t you know

I’ve been there as well

Together we can chase the demons away

Chorus: Why don’t you listen…

Can you see me for me?

Or am I just a gender to you?

Can’t you see me for me

The way I see you for you?

It ain’t easy

It’s gonna be tough

Some days are gonna be rough

But you gotta learn how to live them through

So, come here and tell me

Chorus: Why don’t you listen…
