I'm sorry, I could never say why
I guess it comes and then it’s gone
I know I only had to speak my mind
And I can’t explain what took so long

But it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
And I don’t know where to look

Oh, it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
Because he never understood

I'm sorry, I could not defend us
From the conclusion we came to
And in the end how there were years full of
Conversations overdue, oh, yeah

And so, it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
And I don’t know where to look

Oh, it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
Because he never understood

No, he never understood
How could he have ever understood?

Oh, there’s no use in explaining
Maybe I should refrain
'Cause there’s no use in explaining

I'm sorry, I was never able
And I hope it’s easy to forget
I was only trying to find myself
And no, I have not found her yet
Her yet

And so, it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
And I don’t know where to look

Oh, it cuts me down
Every time I see him now
Yeah, it cuts me down
Because he never understood
No, he never understood
No, he never understood
