You Don't Wanna Hear It
Unheard Echoes of Love: Ron Sexsmith's Musical Plea
Lyrics
You don’t wanna hear it though
You are resistant to hearing a particular message.
It’s coming in the spirit of love
The message is conveyed with a spirit of love.
You don’t wanna hear it now
Your reluctance to listen persists.
It’s just like you to be that way
Characteristic behavior of being a certain way.
It’s just like you to say “You’ve heard enough”
You tend to dismiss things, claiming familiarity.
Your heart just won’t go near it now
Your heart avoids engaging with the message.
Whoa…
Expression of emphasis or realization.
While you’re not listening
During your inattentiveness.
You’re missing out on something real
There is a genuine experience you're missing.
But if that’s how you feel
If that's genuinely your perspective.
Don’t say I never told you so
Forewarning about potential regret.
The days are getting colder you know
Indication of the changing, possibly difficult, times.
You don’t wanna hear it now
Your resistance to the message persists.
Say you’ve got a wounded heart
Reference to emotional pain.
Not dealing is the easy part so you don’t
Avoidance is the easier option regarding emotions.
You don’t wanna listen now
Your unwillingness to listen continues.
Music is an olive branch
Music is a symbol of peace or reconciliation.
It’s a message in a bottle yeah, but you won’t
A metaphorical message, but you choose not to receive it.
You won’t know what you’re missing out on
You remain unaware of what you're missing.
While you’re pretending
During the act of pretending or avoiding reality.
The ending’s breaking your own heart
Your actions are causing your own emotional pain.
But that’s how you are
Description of your nature or behavior.
Don’t wanna be a thorn in your side
The speaker doesn't want to be a source of discomfort.
Don’t say I never warned you I tried
Past attempts to warn or advise are acknowledged.
You don’t wanna hear it now
Your resistance to the message persists.
Whoa…
Expression of emphasis or realization.
While you’re not listening
During your inattentiveness.
You’re missing out on something real
There is a genuine experience you're missing.
But if that’s how you feel
If that's genuinely your perspective.
You don’t wanna hear it though
Your resistance to hearing persists.
It’s coming in the spirit of love
The message is still delivered with a spirit of love.
You don’t wanna hear it now
Your reluctance to listen continues.
It’s coming in the spirit of love
The message is still conveyed with a spirit of love.
You don’t wanna hear it now
Your resistance to hearing persists.
