I Understand You More Than You Know

Your shoulders droop just a little today

Are you not enjoying this life you chose?

Is it not the job you dreamed it’d be?

Are you okay? Are you getting sleep?

Or is it all just too much to face,

So you stay wrapped up in blankets, escaping the day?

You haven’t even shopped for the week,

Just eating discounted meals, half-heartedly.

Do you think there’s no use in speaking out?

I understand—I really do.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

You’re leaving this place soon, aren’t you?

Do you hate being with me that much?

Are you hoping I’ll say, “I still want only you”?

I get it, I really do—but still…

Won’t you tell me what happened that day?

Say the things you think I won’t want to hear—just say them anyway.

You want to quit your job and live freely, don’t you?

I know what you mean—but still…

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

I don’t believe in grand definitions of love,

Not a single one.

But when this life ends,

I found myself wishing to be the one

Still holding your hand.

You’ll just ignore my call again, won’t you?

Don’t say sorry—I don’t want your apology.

Just say you’ll come home someday.

Right now, I just can’t bear to see your face.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.

I understand you more than you know—

So much it hurts,

So much it hurts.
