Understand

So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand
Too good to be true our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand

We were never meant to be, even though we knew it first
We took each others hand, defied the universe
Full speed ahead, way too late to reverse
Looking in your eyes, no lies, sometimes the truth it hurts
Wish I was careful with my heart, the way I choose my words
But only fools fall in love, and move in spurts
My chest was empty, like a body, in a cruising Hearst
Thought I could lose the curse, but our love renewed it worse
Our worlds collided, from the get go our house was divided
Searching for unity, but all we had was you and me
Let me inside, we both excited, it was hard to hide it
Truthfully I used to be, blind but now I choose to see
Cuz half of me's in you, and it's too true to be
Commitment's strange to me, cuz I'm so used to free
Usually, I'm not the one to make decisions foolishly
The only thing I fear, my daughter asking, "who is he"?

So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand
Too good to be true our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand

I never understood, how two lovers could
Share a bond so strong, like the two of us would
I love you the best way I know how, you love me just as good
Doing all the things, a loving wife, and a mother should
But nothing's perfect no, no matter how hard you work it
Smiling up on stage but we both hurting right behind the curtain
Beyond the surface, nothings certain, still the world keeps turning
And you stay on my mind just like a turban, I'm ya servant
You got me open like a house, that ain't got doors
My pockets stuck in the basement, while I dream of top floors
Knowing happiness it can't be bought, in shop stores
But I got 2 jobs, and go to school, cuz still I want more
Focused on my mission, you keep me on course
Reminding me I'm not in it for applause or encores
Got so much love if we shared it, I swear we'd stop wars
Blinded by ya beauty, looking in ya eyes, I'm all yours

So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand
Too good to be true our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand

So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand
Too good to be true our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand
