What You Heard

[Verse 1] We must look like a couple of strangers Sitting in a quiet room You've been studying the patterns on the carpet I've been studying you You kept building higher walls I kept busting through We've been on this same road together But somehow got a different view [Chorus] I thought I was telling you I love you I thought I could make it up with words I was trying so hard to reach you But that's not what you heard [Post-Chorus] Oh-ohh [Verse 2] I might sound like a broken old record Needle stuck in the groove Saying the same thing over and over Trying to get a message through Damn thesе words I've always trusted Wound up hurting you It's only in the aftеrmath We see the damage they can do [Chorus] I thought I was telling you I love you I thought I could make it up with words I was trying so hard to reach you But that's not what you heard Now I'm feeling every mile between us And I wonder if I'll ever learn That it doesn't matter how I mean it If that's not what you heard [Post-Chorus] Oh-ohh Oh-ohh Oh yeah Oh-ohh [Chorus] I thought I was telling you I love you I thought I could make it up with words I was trying so hard to reach you But that's not what you heard Now I'm feeling every mile between us I wonder if I'll ever learn That it doesn't matter how I mean it If that's not what you heard [Outro] No, it doesn't matter how I mean it If that's not what you heard Oh-ohh Oh-ohh
