Hear Me Out

Girls Aloud · What Will The Neighbours Say

I was drowning in the rain
Getting lost beneath the downpour
Trying to shield a dying flame, oh
Nearly lost what I had come for

But somewhere in my heart
A little gold was working its way out
And made a star to guide me on my way
Somewhere deep inside
I remembered what it's all about
I took my time
But now I think I'll have my say. oh

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'll no longer hear the wind blow
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

Now I can see which way I'm going
Follow my heart that's what they say
Never too small can't stop me growing
Taking the world on day by day
Follow the way the wind is blowing
Free to explore and find my way
I'll take all the stuff that life is throwing
This is the chance to have my say, yeah

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

Hear me out
I've done my running believe me
Without a doubt
I'll no longer take the blame
Hear me out
My heart is broken and bleeding
But it's beating
No other man alive
Is gonna leave me in the rain

I know
(I was lost but now I'm found)
As the rain pours down the window
(And I've turned my life around)
I'll no longer hear the wind blow
No more dramas
Smeared mascara on my pillow

I know
I know
