You will never understand me

T You will never understand me

I see it now

Maybe it’s better that way

You always looked right through

Every piece I gave

Like it never made a sound

You never understood me anyway

I kept on reaching out

You let it fall away

Never understand me

Never understand me

I was right here, all along

Never believed in me

Never believed in me

Not for a second, not for long

I wore my best face

At your table, in your room

Hid the cracks in my hands

And the bruises I outgrew

You called it all a phase

Like a storm you’d wait out

But I was learning how

To stand without you now

You never understood me anyway

I kept on reaching out

You let it fall away

Never understand me

Never understand me

I was right here, all along

Never believed in me

Never believed in me

Not for a second, not for long

So keep your quiet distance

Keep your easy truth

I don’t need your permission

To become somebody new

I’m done asking for a light

From a house that closed its door

I can hear my own name now

And I won’t beg for more

Never understand me

Never understand me

I was right here, all along

Never believed in me

Never believed in me

Not for a second, not for long

Never understand me

Never understand me

I’m still standing, I’m still strong
