Here are the lyrics to a song that was cut from the film called “No One Would Listen” (which uses the same music as “Learn to be Lonely”). The song takes place in the Phantom’s lair, and was
intended to make the Phantom a more sympathetic character.)
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 my dark, my heart heard music
I longed to teach the world
Rise up and teach the world
No one would listen
I alone could hear the music
Then, at voice, 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
