Couldn't Hear Her
(feat. Curt Chambers)
She would sit and listen for hours
As I played in bars
Or talent shows
I'm getting little dough
Damn near living inside my car
She came to my shows
She saw all the notes
That young girls they wrote
And slid in my coat
Still she stood right by my side
In time now it just started to seem
Like I was on my way
Did a CD
Now WB wants to fly to LA
I signed papers soon
Then I did this tune
It was called "The Moon"
Hit radio and just like that boom
Got the fame but lost my girl
CHORUS
But the show must go on
Unfortunately, I'm all alone
Up from my dream
Cause I couldn't hear her over my music
I didn't hear her over my music
I couldn't hear her over my music
I never sang her my song
As time went on my pen only bleeds
What I see in my real life so
Previous cats written for lady friend
I consider my future wife
Musiq buys the song
The world sings along
She cries when it's on
Telling me I'm so wrong
Writing songs about her pain
It's just when I'm in the studio
I feel so close to God
But the temptations I see on the road
Makes following his path so hard
The guy in my song is the guy I long
To be but I know that I'm not that strong
But everyday I still try
(CHORUS)
That's all I got
