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
