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?)
