She Said, He Heard Lyrics - Bogguss Suzy

They sat at the table, polite conversation 

Avoiding the issue at hand 

Then he made the coffee and she did the dishes 

And sat down at the table again 

She waited a moment hoping he would speak first 

Though it never had happened before 

He sat there in silence expecting the worst 

Til she couldn't wait anymore 

She said "I'm mad" 

He heard "I'm leaving" 

She said "I need your attention" 

He heard "I want you to crawl" 

She said "I'm sad" 

He heard "It's all your fault" 

There is no translation 

Emotions don't fit into words 

Theres so much between what she 

And what he heard 

She said "I love you" thats not the problem 

And I know how much you care 

But for too long now we've been walking on eggshells 

I just had to clear the air 

He looked at her like she was speaking chinese 

With some of the letters left out 

Try as he may he just didn't know 

What she was talking about 

She said "I'm mad" 

He heard "I'm leaving" 

She said "I need your attention" 

He heard "I want you to crawl" 

She said "I'm sad" 

He heard "It's all your fault" 

There is no translation 

Emotions don't fit into words 

Theres so much between what she 

And what he heard 

Then he started smiling 

And she started laughing 

They both reached out their hands 

She said "I think we're from two different planet 

No wonder we misunderstand" 

She said "I'm mad" 

He heard "I'm leaving" 

She said "I need your attention" 

He heard "I want you to crawl" 

She said "I'm sad" 

He heard "It's all your fault" 

There is no translation 

Emotions don't fit into words 

Theres so much between what she 

And what he heard
