Understand Me

What I need from you is understanding
How can we communicate
If you don't hear what I say
What I need from you is understanding (That's all I want)
So simple as one, two, three - (Yeah)

You don't understand me (no)
Don't know what I can be
But even if you could see (yeah)
You wouldn't wanna be me (no)
'Cause I don't understand me (no)
Hurt by things I can't see, and
As much 'you wanna love me (oh)
I find it hard to love me (yeah)

Girl ain't we supposed to be made for eachother
She said she done love me more than any other
But I can't feel it yet I love her, imma sucker
And now she's goin' and talkin' like she's wantin' another

Baby can't we go the distance (can we go girl)
Indecisive, inconsistence
She just scared of the distance (so scared)
Then she love me, no resistance (no resistance girl)

You don't understand me (no)
Don't know what I can be (don't know girl)
But even if you could see (yeah, even if you could)
You wouldn't wanna be me (no you wouldn't)
'Cause I don't understand me (no I don't)
Treat me like a Plan-B
But are we really meant to be (oh are we)
I know God really love me (yeah, you should)

Know you'd be taking up all of my attention
Calling me wantin' me around, tension
Tellin' my friends you love me, confession
Then you tell your friends about another connection
Maybe you just wanna move on (ay)
But stop me every time I try to move along
Baby we won't make it all alone (ay)
I know I can't do this on my own (girl, I been)

Prayin' for happiness and forgiveness
I keep on sinnin' God as my witness
Maybe it's becoming too much to handle, sickness
But I already been through all of this business
If you really love me then why are you scared (girl)
All of this fear like you don't really care (girl)
Maybe it's selfish but I wanna be there
Help you with the problems, love you while I'm here (yeah)

You don't understand me, no
I don't understand (oh)
Why don't you understand (oh)
I don't understand (do you understand)
You don't understand (oh, girl)
I don't understand (do you understand me)
We can't understand
You don't understand (You don't understand me, girl)

What I need from you is understanding
I hate mental pain
I'm good at physical pain
'Cause it only goes so far, it ain't gon' kill you
Unless they trynna kill you
You shoot me in my brain I only gotta feel two seconds of pain
And then I don't gotta look at you or look at nobody no more
It's that mental, that is that torture
That's the real pain
