The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock - If Only You Would Listen - Alternate Version, Bonus Track lyrics

I was lost, lost and in pain
So much hurt bottled inside
All the things I should've said
I just kept trying to hide
And I thought nobody could
But you, you understood i needed to share
And only you would listen
Hoped someone would care
And only you would listen
You raised my voice up taught me not to fear
I've learned who I am because you're here
Can't you see how much you've done
Can't you tell how you came through
And now you, you need someone
So let me be there for you
Don't you know, I'll understand
So just reach out your hand
I'll always be there
If only you would listen
You'd know that I care
If only you would listen
Now that I've found you
You can't just disappear
Life won't be the same without you here
I'll always be there
If only you would listen
You'd know that I care
If only you would listen
You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it clear
I'll always be there
If only you would listen
You'd know that I care
If only you would listen
You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it clear
You've raised my voice up
Helped me make it here you gave me my voice
So I'll be here
