Mis//Understanding

Am I not understanding this now?

This world I've held so close to my heart

Is all against me now

And it wears, and it breaks

And it brings me down, so low, down so low

It wears me down, down to my bones

(Straight through my skin)

It wears me down, down to my bones

Wearing away until I'm nothing

Am I not understanding this now?

This world I've held so close to my heart

Is now more broken then ever

And I tried compassion

And to love every other

I've tried forgiveness

And to hold on close to my brothers

And look at where its left us

Did I ever understand enough?

Did all my words fall on deaf ears?

Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?

Have you ever felt like you did everything right

And it still all went wrong

Am I not understanding this now?

This world I've held so close to my heart

Is now more broken then ever

And I tried compassion

And to love every other

I've tried forgiveness

And to hold on close to my brothers

And look at where its left us

Did I ever understand enough?

Six years ago I married a bride

(I'm not sure she was meant to be mine)

Six years ago I married a bride

(I'm not sure she was meant to be mine)

So unsure of everything

So unsure of everything

I live in the marraige of life and love

But was I mistaken all along?

Have you ever felt like you did everything right

But it still all went wrong?

So here I am filled with doubt

Understanding to live with it will be

My only way out

Don't give up on me

Because it might take days

Take comfort in me if you

Feel the same

Feel the same

(Don't give up on me)

(Don't give up on me)

(Take comfort in me)

(Take comfort in me)

We need to fix ourselves

And make right all our mistakes

(It's all we can do)

It's all we can do

It's all I can do

So I ask will you?

(Will you?)
