Why are you crying
Did I say something wrong
Were’nt we just talking
Tell me whats going on

Cause I’m pretty sure my intentions
Were nothing more than conversation
Maybe you just needed someone
To listen to your heart

Maybe I spoke too soon
Maybe I said too much
Now that my face is blue
Think it’s time I listen up
I’ve already said enough

Sometimes I do this
Thing is I’m so afraid
When it get’s quiet
What you might have to say

Cause I’m guilty of
Overcompensation
I’m lost in my
Own translation
I apologize, I know I
Should listen to your heart

Chorus

There isn’t anything that I could say
Not a word to get in the way
Of you, Of You, I am listening

Chorus


Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram

Behind the Song:
"Coming from a guy like me who is trying to figure out relationships, “Listen Up” is lyrically about the classic struggle of guys understanding girls. And as a single guy, I know that there are so many single guys out there like me who just can’t relate to love songs. But I hope “Listen Up” will be a song that guys will hear and be able to say, ‘Oh man, I’ve totally been there when I’ve said the wrong thing or stuck my foot in my mouth.’ I think sometimes, girls just need us to listen.” - Brandon Heath
