Lyrics

Some Things You Never Understand

Some Things you never understand
Perfect romance turns to sand
And every part of you
Is either numb or hurtin
I kept the vow for all those years
Till I walked away in tears
It seemed I had no choice
I had to drop the curtain

But even so
I'd like to know

(Chorus)
Did I give up?
Did I get lazy?
Did I quit before the race was through?
Did I bury the dream?
Abandon all hope?
Cutting my losses too son?
Or did I wake up?
Did I smell the coffee?
Did I just catch on before you?
Oh how I'd like to hold the answer in my hand?
Somethings you never understand

I loved you like the sunlight loves the sky
I never needed to ask why
It was the only thing to do
It was just like breathing
It dies so quietly and slow
I tried everything I know
Until the only loving thing
Was just be leaving

But even so
I'd like to know

(Chorus)

The devil seems so much wiser than we are
He got so many tricks up his sleeve
Truth is, the gates of hell are always opened
For some reason we just don't choose to leave

Was it my fault was it yours
Guess I'll never know for sure
There is no answer just a deafening quiet
Sometimes you win your hearts desire
Sometimes you languish in the fire
Sometimes our prayers are met
With eloquent silence

And even though
I'll never know

(Chorus)
