Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun comes up, another day begins
And I don't even worry 'bout the state I'm in
Head so heavy, and I'm lookin' thin
But when the sun goes down I'm gonna start again
[PreChorus]
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh, huh, huh
Uh, huh, huh
[Chorus]
Never understandin'
You never understand me, yeah
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
[Verse 2]
Just don't turn around until you look at me
Why don't you take a second? Tell me what you see
The things I say, you only disagree
You never understand that's what I wanna be
[PreChorus]
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
[Chorus]
Never understandin'
You never understand me, yeah
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh
[Verse 3]
Wishin' to hide, but you just can't see me
I tell you the truth, but you don't believe me
Thinkin' of love, but can't hear what you're sayin'
Tomorrow I'll leave then 'cause I'm not staying here
[Outro]
'Cause I'm not stayin' here
'Cause I'm not stayin' here
'Cause I'm not stayin' here
Uh-huh-huh
