Understood
I was a lonely boy
You were lonely too.
I used to give too much,
Now I give too few.
Maybe you're sorry now
For things you didn't do?
Understood.
Now you're afraid of love,
I was just like you.
Show me a broken heart
You act like it's new.
Maybe you tried too hard
To follow something good?
Understood.
I have looked far and wide
And seen noone so true.
If it was beautiful
Then surely it was you.
Maybe we're holding on
To dreams that can't come true?
Understood.
