Hear Me
Clarkson Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear me
You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby I've fought
For all that I've got
Can you hear me?
Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me

I was previously afraid of
Letting someone in
Opening up to someone emotionally
But it gets so lonely
It's too lonely without a partner
Being on my own
Being single
No one to talk to
No one to confide in
And no one to hold me
No one to comfort me physically
I'm not always strong
I have moments of weakness
Oh, I need you here
I need you to be with me
I'm restless and wild
I have a lot of energy and passion
I fall, but I try
I make mistakes, but I keep going
I need someone to understand
I need someone to empathize with me
Can you hear me?
Are you really listening to me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
I'm preoccupied with my own mind
And baby I've fought
I've struggled and worked hard
For all that I've got
To achieve everything I have now
Hear me
I'm still seeking attention
Can you hear me?
Do you really understand me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
An emotional cry for help
Hear me
Listen to me
Hear me
I'm still waiting for someone to pay attention to me
