Lyrics
You tell me you're sad
'Cos she treats you so bad,
She holds your heart in her hand,
'Tho you know she's untrue
You don't know what to do
You ask me if I understand.
You live for her smile'
and you dream all the while
That she'll share the future you've planned
You say love is a curse
That no torture is worse
Tha't something I understand
Understand, yes I do
That this love's killing you
I've lived in love's shadow too
I've known the pain
Of loving in vain
I've had dreams that would never come true
But you still can't let go
I ought to know
You hold my heart in your hand
How I live for your smile
I can't tell you, so I'll
Just tell you I understand.
