I was never made for this, I can understand that, And this was the worst case scenario, I can understand that, Another easter, birthday, christmas, new year, Without a phone call from home, Thought I'd gotten used to it by now, Still hard to get used to being alone, But it's how things turned out, I can understand that, Play the cards I'm dealt, I can understand that, I can deal with it sometimes, And sometimes I wanna drown, And then I laugh sometimes, But with a lingering pain deep down, It takes a while to heal, I can understand that, But it takes a bit too long, I can understand that, (I can understand that) Looking around, I see, (I see) Only distant faces looking back at me, Having gone through things, You're not supposed to until you're seventy, One foot, then another I can understand that But there's no manual for this, I hope you can understand that (I hope you can understand that) (I can understand that) (aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa) I hope you understand that, (mmmmmmmm) It's not a curve, It ebbs and flows, I hope you can understand that, I know my nerves are more exposed, Revealing more of my lows, I suppose, I can understand that. (I can understand that)
