You Hear a Song
Cassadee Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let every shade of my true colors show
Keep loving me and I'll lose all control
Eventually
Never wanna be, never wanna be that girl
With a million needs, who keeps running your world
Boy, do you lie, when you say I look good tonight.
I see a mess in the mirror,
But you see the girl of your dreams
I see the dark clouds rolling in,
But you see the sky I can't see
I hear this melody coming out all wrong
But you hear a song, you hear a song
They keep talking,
All the ghost from my past
Heart broken,
Can't get over it fast
Just give it up, stays around,
And it never leaves.
I see a mess in the mirror,
But you see the girl of your dreams
I see the dark clouds rolling in,
But you see the sky I can't see
I hear this melody coming out all wrong
But you hear a song, you hear a song
A one note symphony,
Baby come on
And sing it back to me.
I see a mess in the mirror,
But you see the girl of your dreams
I see the dark clouds rolling in,
But you see the sky I can't see
I hear this melody coming out all wrong
It sounds like the chaos I hear in my head
All night long, but you hear a song,
You hear a song
You hear a song

All the bad memories and mistakes I've made
Heart broken, can't get over it fast
I'm still healing from past heartbreak
Just give it up, stays around, and it never leaves.
I can't seem to move on from my past mistakes or heartbreak
A one note symphony, baby come on
My life seems monotonous and uneventful, but I hope you'll join me
And sing it back to me.
I hope you'll share your life with me and make my life richer
It sounds like the chaos I hear in my head
I feel overwhelmed and lost
All night long, but you hear a song,
I feel like I'm failing, but you see the beauty in my struggles
You hear a song, you hear a song
You see the positive in every situation and inspire me to do the same
