Try to Understand

I'm sitting here in silence and I'm feeling so discouraged
'Cause I only want to call you, but I just don't have the courage
And it seems like only yesterday things were going fine
It's funny how our lives can change in only seconds time

But I know I'll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn't understand at all

I'm sorry that I never could quite say this to your face
Always hiding behind melody lines, hooks that keep me safe
And I know this may be catchy but I know you can't relate
What's possible's impossible, and that I won't debate

But I know I'll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn't understand at all

So don't take this the wrong way, this is nothing like the past
I'm fine and I am okay with the fact that this can't last
But I'll try to fix my problems, sorry I was so afraid
What could've been, should've been, oh, what a mess I've made...

But I know I'll miss the bad jokes and the way you never called
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
As we lay there in the darkness, try to understand it all
Understand it all
Couldn't understand at all
