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
