I Hope You Understand

I hope you understand

I hope you understand, you understand

That I'm leaving in the evening

No more sleeping or disbelieving

Ooh, I gotta put myself first

Lucius, gotta find my way

So I'm taking the faster train, ooh-ooh

I hope you understand

I hope you understand

I've had sleepless nights

And I've had weary days

And I've tried my best

To make it work in ways

You can't even begin to imagine how it feels, oh

I'll always remember feeling like I was no good (no good)

Like I was something that you never, never understood (ooh)

Now I'm older and wiser

I'm choosing me, oh

I hope you understand

I, I hope (ooh-ooh-ooh)
