I Can Finally Understand

You took your soft heart out of your locket

Thought I knew what I was doing til I dropped it

It was you that came away with your heart a little harder

I don’t know why I thought you’d come back

When it was me that acted like an asshole

When it was you that gave all that one person could give

I just wanna hear it’s all alright

I just wanna find your lips in the night

I just wanna feel you by my side one more time

I never learned how this love thing works

In so little time I’ve caused so much hurt

I can finally understand why you won’t have me back again

Well a heart breaks first in its curves

Shakes its way to the center til it hits a nerve

You gotta do what you have to, to fill the fracture

I know it’s not fair of me to ask

When you left this whole world sagged

My heartbeat in my chest fell into my stomach

I just wanna hear it’s all alright

I just wanna find your lips in the night

I just wanna feel you by my side one more time

I know you’re tired and it’s getting late

All that’s left in me is this weight

Of the hard heart I’ve made

Is it too late to be saved

I just wanna hear it’s all alright

I just wanna find your lips in the night

I just wanna feel you by my side one more time

I never learned how this love thing works

In so little time I’ve caused so much hurt

I can finally understand why you won’t have me back again

(My heartbeat in my chest)

And I’ll always wait for the day

When you can say my name without cotempt in your face

When I can give my heart as you gave yours
