[Verse 1] You look right through me Like I’m not in the room I keep it all inside But it cuts clean through I said it plain, baby I said it slow Still you made your own story Out of what you don’t know [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the guessing Tired of the spin If you want the truth, baby Let me in Say it back to me Don’t let it slide I’ve been standing here With my hands open wide [Chorus] You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I’m not hard to hold I’m just hard to stand You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I was reaching for you Now I’m slipping your hand [Verse 2] I don’t need perfect I don’t need a show I need you to listen When I say go slow You keep reading between Every line I breathe But the truth’s on the table And it’s looking at me [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the guessing Tired of the spin If you want the truth, baby Let me in Say it back to me Don’t let it slide I’ve been standing here With my hands open wide [Chorus] You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I’m not hard to hold I’m just hard to stand You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I was reaching for you Now I’m slipping your hand [Bridge] Maybe I’ve been too quiet Maybe you’ve been too fast We keep calling it forever While the moment goes past If you want me here Then meet me halfway Don’t just hear the words Baby, hear what I say [Chorus] You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I’m not hard to hold I’m just hard to stand You don’t understand No, you don’t understand I was reaching for you Now I’m slipping your hand
