Listen (From "Dreamgirls")

Beyoncé
Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start but can't complete

Listen to the sound from deep within

It's only beginning to find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard

They will not be pushed aside and turned

Into your own all 'cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home in my own home

And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened

There is someone here inside

Someone I thought had died so long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard

They will not be pushed aside on words


Into your own all 'cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home in my own home

And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong

But I'll be moving on

If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start but I will complete

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own, my own

It's All Coming Back to Me Now (Radio Edit 1)


There were nights when the wind was so cold

That my body froze in bed

If I just listened to it

Right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel

That all the tears turned to dust

And I just knew my eyes were

Drying up forever (forever)

I finished crying in the instant that you left

And I can't remember where or when or how

And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this

And you hold me like that

I just have to admit

That it's all coming back to me

When I touch you like this

And I hold you like that

It's so hard to believe but

It's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things I'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure


It was more than any laws allow

Baby baby

If I kiss you like this

And if you whisper like that

It was lost long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you want me like this

And if you need me like that

It was dead long ago

But it's all coming back to me

It's so hard to resist

And it's all coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now

But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies

And whenever you tried to hurt me

I just hurt you even worse

And so much deeper

There were hours that just went on for days

When alone at last we'd count up all the chances

That were lost to us forever (forever)

But you were history with the slamming of the door

And I made myself so strong again somehow

And I never wasted any of my time on you since then


But if I touch you like this

And if you kiss me like that

It was so long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you touch me like this

And if I kiss you like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things we'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than all your laws allow

Baby, Baby, Baby

When you touch me like this

And when you hold me like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

Then we see what we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies


All coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this

If I forgive you all that

We forgive and forget

And it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

We see just see what we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies

All coming back to me

I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

(It's all coming back to me now)

And when you kiss me like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And when I touch you like that

(It's all coming back to me now)

If you do it like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And if we.
happier
Olivia Rodrigo
We broke up a month ago

Your friends aren't mine, you know, I know

You've moved on, found someone new

One more girl who brings out the better in you

And I thought my heart was detached

From all the sunlight of our past

But she's so sweet, she's so pretty

Does she mean you forgot about me?

Oh, I hope you're happy

But not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

And do you tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?
And promise three words you know you'll never mean

Remember when I believed

You meant it when you said it first to me?

And now I'm pickin' her apart

Like cuttin' her down make you miss my wretched heart

But she's beautiful, she looks kind

She probably gives you butterflies

I hope you're happy

But not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, I wish you all the best, really

Say you love her, baby, just not like you loved me

And think of me fondly when your hands are on her

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I hope you're happy

Just not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know, can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier


traitor
Olivia Rodrigo

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies, yeah

I played dumb, but I always knew

That you talked to her, maybe did even worse

I kept quiet so I could keep you

And ain't it funny how you ran to her

The second that we called it quits?

And ain't it funny how you said you were friends?

Now it sure as hell don't look like it

You betrayed me

And I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah

You talked to her when we were together

Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter

It took you two weeks to go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor

Now you bring her around just to shut me down

Show her off like she's a new trophy ㅤ


And I know if you were true, there's no damn way that you

Could fall in love with somebody that quickly

Ain't it funny? All the twisted games

All the questions you used to avoid

Ain't it funny? Remember I brought her up

And you told me I was paranoid?

You betrayed me

And I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah

You talked to her when we were together

Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter

It took you two weeks to go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor

(Ah-ah-ah) God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you

(Ah-ah-ah) when she's sleepin' in the bed, we made

Don't you dare forget about the way

You betrayed me

'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry for the way I hurt, yeah

You talked to her when we were together

You gave me your word, but that didn't matter

It took you two weeks to go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still, you're still a traitor (ah-ah-ah)

Yeah, you're still a traitor

Ooh-ooh-ooh
God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you
