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 heard, 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 here.
You gave me my voice,
So I'll be here.
