Listen
And I'll try to do the same
To take my share of blame
For what went wrong
Listen
To the girl you used to know
The one who loved you so
For oh so long
I can hear our voices ringing in my head
Two girls laughing, singing on the bed
You'll hear them too, all you need to do
Is listen
Listen
Open your heart and forgive me
Give what I need you to give me
Give me Effie back,
I need my Effie back,
Please, sister, please
Oh, I have been so all alone
Oh, won't you help me Effie?
I lost myself, now I can't see
Who it is I'm supposed to be
No, I just don't know
Listen
To the girl you used to know
The one who loved you so
Back in the day
Oh, Deena girl, I know what you're going through
I've got through it and you can too
Now it's your turn, you've got to learn
To listen
Listen
There is a voice deep inside you
This is the voice that will guide you
To where you need to be
It will set you free
Take it from me
Oh, it's a long and lonely road
But girl, you gotta take it
It's gonna hurt like hell today
But trust me girl, that'll go away
It goes away
I don't want to do it alone
Will you help me, help me be strong
Please?
Sister, please?
Listen (listen)
To the girl you used to know (to the girl you used to know)
The one who loved you so
Back in the day
Oh, now I know what I must do
I'm gonna leave him, sister
I will be strong (strong)
I know I can (you can)
I'm gonna give myself up, and leave that man
I'm gonna make it on my own
On my own
