Lyrics

Don't Understand it Yet

I did not tell my best friend
I didn't tell anyone
I just left in the middle of the night I
Needed my concentration
Just to know that I had made
This one decision for myself

So I ran like hell to get far away
I don't know why I reacted that way
Why I wanted to change into somebody else
No I don't understand it yet . .

He wanted me to have the answer
I didn't even hear the question
He could have been a happier man
If he had followed someone's suggestion
To run away while you can

And when I heard the endless prattle
Of people living in the past
That's when I desired the strings and the rhythm
And I knew it wasn't gonna last

I can't say that I remember
Anything about those few days
Maybe I did it on purpose
And my mind and feelings have closed the case
I know I am the one to blame
For all that happened then
But when I spied out past the night
As the storm was drifting in
I understood I never would let anyone have
That power over me again

I did not tell my best friend
I didn't tell anyone
I just left in the middle of the night I guess I
Needed my concentration
Just to know that I had made
This one decision for myself

So I ran like hell to get far away
I don't know why I reacted that way
Why I wanted to change into somebody else
No I don't understand it yet . . .
