No One Would Listen

"No One Would Listen" was a song written by David Zippel for the 2004 movie. It was cut and the melody was reused set to new lyrics for the song "Learn to Be Lonely".

The song has Erik the Phantom sitting in his lair surrounded by pictures of Christine. He is singing of how she was the only one who ever pitied him, while everyone else feared him. watch here.

Lyrics:

Phantom:
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears

Shamed into solitude
Shunned by the multitude
I learned to listen
In the dark, my heart heard music

I long to teach the world
Rise up and reach the world
No one would listen
I alone could hear the music

Then at last a voice in the gloom
Seemed to cry "I hear you. I hear your fears, your torment and your tears."

She saw my loneliness
Shared in my emptiness
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears

No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears
