| Am I not understanding this now?
|
| This world I’ve held so close to my heart
|
| Is all against me now
|
| And it wears, and it breaks
|
| And it brings me down, so low, down so low
|
| It wears me down, down to my bones
|
| Straight through my skin
|
| It wears me down, down to my bones
|
| Wearing away until I’m nothing
|
| Am I not understanding this now?
|
| This world I’ve held so close to my heart
|
| Is now more broken than ever
|
| And I tried compassion and to love every other
|
| I’ve tried forgiveness and to hold on close to my brothers
|
| And look at where its left us did I ever understand enough?
|
| Did all my words fall on deaf ears?
|
| Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?
|
| Have you ever felt like you did everything right
|
| And it still all went wrong?
|
| Am I not understanding this now?
|
| This world I’ve held so close to my heart
|
| Is now more broken than ever
|
| And I tried compassion and to love every other
|
| I’ve tried forgiveness and to hold on close to my brothers
|
| And look at where its left us did I ever understand enough?
|
| Six years ago I married a bride
|
| I’m not sure she was meant to be mine
|
| Six years ago I married a bride
|
| I’m not sure she was meant to be mine
|
| So unsure of everything
|
| So unsure of everything
|
| I live in the marriage of life and love
|
| But was I mistaken all along?
|
| Have you ever felt like you did everything right
|
| But it still all went wrong?
|
| So here I am filled with doubt
|
| Understanding with love will be my only way out
|
| Don’t give up on me because it might take days
|
| Take comfort in me if you feel the same, feel the same
|
| Don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me
|
| Take comfort in me, take comfort in me
|
| We need to fix ourselves
|
| And make right all our mistakes
|
| (It's all we can do)
|
| It’s all we can do
|
| It’s all I can do
|
| So I ask will you? |
