Alan Cox - I'm Listening Now Lyrics

I had the opportunity to stop and hear what you said to me
But I chose to ignore it I chose to distort it
I made my bed sleeping with thieves the ones that wanted death for me
I chose to embrace it I chose to replace it

You told me to never never never let my heart get in the way
But I never never never listen to the words you say
I made my choices now I gotta live with them

So tell me how to fight when I've been knocked down
Tell me how to crawl when there's no more ground to stand on
I'm listening now I'm listening now
Tell me why the world comes crashing down
Every single time I go to open my mouth
I'm listening now I'm listening now

You said that I had crossed the line but I stood and laughed oh every time
I didn't accept it I didn't subject it
I fell into the cyclical nature of being hypocritical
I chose to reject it I chose to direct it

You told me to never never never let my heart get in the way
But I never never never listen to the words you say
I made my choices now I gotta live with them

So now tell me how to fight when I've been knocked down
Tell me how to crawl when there's no more ground to stand on
I'm listening now I'm listening now
Tell me why the world comes crashing down
Every single time I go to open my mouth
I'm listening now I'm listening now

Now on the ground I have nothing to lose
I am ready for everything ready for truth
Death and its shadows will never defeat me
I'm standing up to reclaim this victory

I never never never let my heart get in the way
I never never never listen to the words you say
I made my choices I'm gonna live with them

You told me to never never never let my heart get in the way
But I never never never listen to the words you say
I made my choices now I gotta live with them

So now tell me how to fight when I've been knocked down
Tell me how to crawl when there's no more ground to stand on
I'm listening now I'm listening now
Tell me why the world comes crashing down
Every single time I go to open my mouth
I'm listening now I'm listening now

I'm listening now I'm listening now
I'm listening now I'm listening now
