Did that smile belong to me or borrow my name? Did your eyes lose mine, or was I looking away? Did the room grow smaller or did the walls rearrange? Who keeps moving all the doors every time I change? Which echo reached my ears? Which one learned my voice? Did I make the wrong decision or mistake it for a choice? If every clue felt honest, why'd they point both ways? Who keeps handing out the questions while hiding all the names? Did she say that to him or to me instead? Did the sentence leave her lips or bloom inside my head? Miss Understandings wherever you go I follow the siren call pulling me close The songs you sing so softly somehow got stuck inside me Every note found somewhere to hide then tied itself inside my throat The clouds all shroud the moon revealing only gloom Rules of thumb became the walls inside another room How could you have assumed I ever had to choose If every path looks split in two, which one would you have used? If a silence has a heartbeat, who decides the pace? Why does every painted smile wear somebody else's face? If certainty was waiting, why'd it vanish out of view? How could you have assumed I ever had to choose? Was I reading what you wrote or rewriting what I read? If the truth was standing there, why'd I chase the doubt instead? Miss Understandings wherever you go I follow the siren call pulling me close The songs you sing so softly somehow got stuck inside me Every note found somewhere to hide then tied itself inside my throat If every phrase carried blades, which one drew the blood? Or which one carved a memory? Which one called it love? If every heart needs translating, who forgot the key? Why are you trying to understand or understand me? Miss Understandings wherever you go I follow the siren call pulling me close The songs you sing so softly somehow got stuck inside me Every note found somewhere to hide then tied itself inside my throat Were we searching for the truth or searching to be right? When every answer asks another question, who survives the night?
