Текст песни You're Not Listening - Jonathan Maiocco

In one-way conversations, all your good intentions don't mean a thing
Your preconceived notions are only just opinions and wishful thinking
Oh, it feels so rough, and oh, so out of touch cause
All your passive aggression and your tricks questions and speculation
Only mean one thing

It doesn't matter what I say or think or what I believe
I'll go nowhere quickly cause
It doesn't matter, you're not listening, you don't hear a thing
Cause I can hear it in the subtleties when you speak
And I can feel it when you look at me, you don't see
No offense or anything but
It doesn't matter what you say or think
You're not listening, so I'm not listening

So
Thanks for the interventions, I tried my best to listen but I can't think straight
The conflict of interest and all the first impressions didn't go great
And oh, I hate that drama, and oh, let's start this over and
Stop all the agendas and euphemisms and double standards
And cut to the chase

It doesn't matter what I say or think or what I believe
I'll go nowhere quickly cause
It doesn't matter, you're not listening, you don't hear a thing
Cause I can hear it in the subtleties when you speak
And I can feel it when you look at me, you don't see
No offense or anything but
It doesn't matter what you say or think
You're not listening, so I'm not listening

In all my years of therapy, I learned
To give people common decency when they hurt
So don't try to fix me just listen please
Can't you see, don't you see, what we need?
This time

But every time that I start to think you've learned
You prove me wrong ever so quickly like clockwork
Yeah, I can try but I won't succeed
Cause you think everything that you think
Is right

So it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter what I say or think
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter cause you're not listening
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter what I say or think
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, no, it doesn't matter cause you're not listening

In one-way conversations, all your good intentions don't mean a thing
