I have been listening to you, things that you said
Hard to understand
Seems your point of view is confusing
Me again

I 've been turning it around, I 've been given it time
I argued, almost agreed
It 's bothering you
You 're telling me

I have raised my voice, 
praised my own thoughts
Abused my authority
I am much older, girl, you should be
Listening to me

Then you walk out on me as usually
My turn to get upset
You confided in me
But no longer you said

Perhaps I should turn on the TV
See things differently

The more I listen to you I see my point of view
Standin' in your way
I got my personal experience
What can I say

I could easily pretend that I do understand
Be dishonest with you
We would still grow apart
And it 's worse if I start judging you

But I do, then turn on the news
More points and views

Was I expecting anything different
Had happened in between
They would do better than me
Better then me
But the same lack of empathy
I can not turn you into me

Perhaps I should let you be
My contribution to society
