Hear me
Hear me
You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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
Hear me
You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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

yeah, this is what this makes me think of.
It's like you want to slap them and say " I LOVE YOU! FOOL!! LOVE ME FREAKIN BACK!"
"...but it gets so lonely
being on my own
WITH
no one to talk to
and
no one to hold 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?..."
Anyway, this is one of my favorite songs by Kelly because it's just about wanting to be heard (duhhhhh) and wanting to just be somebody in the world. You just want people to notice you for at least one night, because you're fighting to be you. I say this because this is exactly how I feel. No one really knows the real music-loving me who loves to just rock out and everything, because everybody thinks I'm shy. I have problems being outgoing and desperately want to solve this. I am lost in my thoughts, sometimes, because instead of talking about how i feel i write a song about it. I think I'm going on 10 songs right now that i've written so far.
"I used to be scared of
Letting someone in...
But it gets so lonely being on my own
And
No one to talk to
And
No one to hold me
I'm not always strong,
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?"
I feel like this sometimes, because I am sort of scared of letting someone in, but then I just get so boiled up inside and lonely and all i want to do is pour it all out onto someone, but i never do.
I'm always lost inside this crowd, because the whole world is a crowd that i'm lost inside, no one noticing me. I just feel like I need someone to reach out and say something. Even listen to me.
To me this song is the most real song I've ever heard and possibly my favorite. The music is really awesome, too.
