I walk alone through empty streets tonight Trying to find the words I never write Every shadow keeps reminding me Of every promise lost inside the sea You said forever never fades away But now forever feels so far away And every second cuts me like a knife While I'm still searching for another life Can you hear my voice in the dark? Can you see the flames, not the sparks? I've been holding all this pain inside With nowhere left to hide And the truth of the matter is Why don't you understand me? I gave you all the best of this But you still couldn't see me Every tear, every scar I hide Was calling out so loudly And the truth of the matter is Why don't you understand me? Another night, another broken dream Nothing's ever really what it seems I tried to be the person that you need But losing you was making my heart bleed I hear your name inside the pouring rain Like echoes dancing slowly through my brain And all the memories we used to know Are turning into ghosts I can't let go Can you hear my voice in the dark? Can you feel this world fall apart? I've been drowning in the endless blue Still reaching out for you And the truth of the matter is Why don't you understand me? I gave you all the best of this But you still couldn't see me Every tear, every scar I hide Was calling out so loudly And the truth of the matter is Why don't you understand me? Maybe I was never good enough Maybe love was always way too rough But even if the stars fall from the sky A part of me will always wonder why Why you walked away Why you couldn't stay Why my heart still breaks At every word you say And the truth of the matter is Why don't you understand me? Why don't you understand me? Why don't you understand me?
