Thank You For Hearing Me Lyrics

Thank you for hearing me
Thank you for hearing me
Thank you for hearing me
Thank you for hearing me

Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

Thank you for seeing me
Thank you for seeing me
Thank you for seeing me
Thank you for seeing me

And for not leaving me
And for not leaving me
And for not leaving me
And for not leaving me

Thank you for staying with me
Thank you for staying with me
Thank you for staying with me
Thank you for staying with me

Thanks for not hurting me
Thanks for not hurting me
Thanks for not hurting me
Thanks for not hurting me

You are gentile with me
You are gentile with me
You are gentile with me
You are gentile with me

Thanks for silence with me
Thanks for silence with me
Thanks for silence with me
Thanks for silence with me

Thank you for holding me
And saying I could be
Thank you for saying, baby
Thank you for holding me

Thank you for helping me
Thank you for helping me
Thank you for helping me
Thank you for helping me

Thank you for breaking my heart
Thank you for tearing me apart
Now I’m a strong, strong heart
Thank you for breaking my heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

For some reason, I always imagined my cat came into my room and and sang this song while I was asleep.

How come almost no one comments on it ? Yea , lyrics are easy to understand but so many stories can be told. Mine is : after 5 years of marriage , me not supporting my wife in hard times and my wife not giving me enough love,knowing that she is with me only because of children I experienced SOMETHING , and I changed , fell in love with her again like never before ... only to learn that recently she has had a verbal affair with a guy , didnt cheat on me and I know she wont but it hurts so much. When I still didnt know about him I wrote her a letter with the lyrics of this song apart from last 4 lines ... and now when I now I can add those last 4 lines...she broke my heart , but I cant say "thank you". Amazing song , makes me cry...
