[Intro]
Hear me
Hear me

[Verse 1]
You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?

[Chorus]
Hear me
I'm cryin' out, I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud
I need you to see, I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me

[Verse 2]
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening? (Are you listening?)

[Chorus]
Hear me
I'm cryin' out, I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud
I need you to see, I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me

[Bridge]
I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand (Can you hear me?)
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby, I've fought for all that I've got
Can you hear me?

[Chorus]
Hear me
I'm cryin' out, I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
