Lyrics If Only You Would Listen - Alternate Version, Bonus Track - The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock

I was lost, lost, and in pain
So much hurt, bottled inside
All the things, I should have said
I just kept trying to hide
And I thought nobody could
But you, you understood

I needed to share
And only you would listen
Hoped someone would care
And only you would isten
You've raised my voice up
Taught me, not to fear
I've learned who I am because you're here

Can't you see, how much you've done
Can't you tell how you came through
And now you, you need someone
So let me be there for you
Don't you know, I'll understand
So just reach out your hand

I'll always be there
If only you would listen
You'd know that I care
If only you would listen

Now that I found you
You can't just dissapear
Lives won't be the same
With out you here

I'll always be there
If only you would listen
You'd know that I care
If only you would listen

You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it clear
I'll always be there
If only you would listen

You'd know that I care
If only you would listen
You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it clear
You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it clear

You gave me my voice
So I'll be here
