Listening Lyrics

Face first again on the ground
And I cant believe what I've found
She talks, you answer
You take away cancer
I'm lucid and letting you down

You took it all away
You took my promises
I cant control what comes and what goes with it
I talk to God just to see if he's listening
I hope he's not listening to me
No, I hope he's not listening to me

So dont even try to read me
I'm telling it all but the truth
I'm begging you please, oh I hope you believe
Cause I dont wanna leave without you

And I'm down, down on my knees in the rain
I thought I could change everything
I thought I could make myself stop

You took it all away
You took my promises
I cant control what comes and what goes with it
I talk to God just to see if he's listening
I hope he's not listening to me

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.

The lead singer of SPS wrote this song while his mom was fighting breast cancer. She survived and made a full recovery.

"I talk to God just to see if he's listening, I hope he's not listening to me" I think that part discribes how a lot of us feel in regards to religion. We feel like we want help from God or someone of a higher power, but we hope the can't hear or see all the terrible things we do on a day to day basis, and we feel guilty for...or maybe that we sometimes doubt the belief of a God when we see a loved one suffer.

"And I'm down, down on my knees in the rain I thought I could change everything" People realize how tough life is and sometimes hit a breaking point where they realize they just can't do it on their own.
