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 Ive 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 Ive 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 marriage 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 with live 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?
