Couldn't Hear Me - Eric Roberson

She would sit and listen for hours as I played guitar yo

Sing my songs up on the radio while she was in her car yo

Her interest will grow

She came to my shows

She new every note

Each line that I wrote

And suddenly she was in love

In time I met this little girl was attracted to her ways yo

What took years for some couples to build for us it just took days yo

So as time went on I wrote her more songs

Not knowing those songs will soon come along

Leaving me in pain oh…

Show must go on unfortunately

I’m all alone

Up from my dreams

'Cause she couldn’t hear me over the music

Didn’t hear me over the music

Couldn’t hear me over the music

She never really knew my song

As time went on she started to see I was not superman no

I may have a gift for these words but I’m no more than a man so

My songs about joy

My songs about pain

She loved them the same but to me she changed

Holding on got so hard

I would be up in the studio

Some nights she slept alone (nights she slept alone)

She’ll get mad, fill with jealously

'Cause I’m making love to these poems oh

Now when I do shows it seems she gets steamed

As if I have flings with those girls that scream out my name

And she use to do the same

Show must go on unfortunately

I’m all alone

Up from my dreams

'Cause she couldn’t hear me over the music

Didn’t hear me over the music

Couldn’t hear me over the music

She never really knew my song

2 xs

If I find love tomorrow

Hoping it don’t follow

The path I’ve been lost on too many times,.

Show must go on unfortunately

I’m all alone

Up from my dreams

'Cause she couldn’t hear me over the music

Didn’t hear me over the music

Couldn’t hear me over the music

She never really knew my song
