Baby, if you dont want me
And want to be free
I understand.

If you want someone else's hand
To hold your hand
I understand.

If you need your space
Cant keep up with my pace,
I understand

When you said you're not okay,
With me around everyday
I understand.

If you rather sink,
Than to float
I understand.

If you rather blink,
Than to read
what I wrote
I understand.

Figured out
What you want me to do instead
To trust rather than doubt
follow all your commands
I understand.

Said im crazy,
Said im too hazy.
Forgetting who I am,
And did the best I can
To make you say
"I dont want you to go away."

But all of my efforts and patience
Didnt stand a chance
To your closed heart.
I knew it from the start
But still dont understand.

You're not even upset
Its written in your face
Your love is a mystery
That I can not solve
And will never have.

Now I understand
That I never understood you
And will never understand you.
