Bogguss Suzy - She Said, He Heard lyrics

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
