I’m listening, I hear you and still don’t understand
You’re saying you’ll miss me and still my biggest fan
Tomorrow, you’re leaving – never to return
Tell me, one more time – what I need to learn

 How can I just sit here, the silence deafening
I’m writing – I’m humming but still no song to sing
No longer, you’ll listen to my endless scorn
So tell me, one more time – what we need to learn 

So go now, why don’t you. There’s no more to discuss
I see now, it’s over – just me and you, no us
How could I? Why did you? I got everything I earned

So listen, I’ll tell you – what you need to learn 
You’re better with out me – an open loving child
No longer indentured to man – who doesn't smile
Why wouldn’t you tell me, It’s finally your turn
I’ll tell you one more time – what you need to learn

 How couldn’t I tell you – it’s finally your turn
Why should they tell you – it’s finally your turn
Why didn’t I see that – it’s finally your turn
You wanted to please me – it’s finally your turn
You wouldn’t believe me – it’s finally your turn.
