There's things you don't know...

by Ash   Feb 11, 2009


There's things you don't know that you won't understand,
This world will crush you till you can no longer stand.
But I'll still be there always for you.
When you need me I'll always be true.

In this world there's two types of faces,
Upon dark times and relentless traces.
Feelings amiss but you cannot even hide,
They will creep in like an unwanted tide.

You place your faith but you only fall down,
Thinking of things and places to go round.
Relentlessly tearing your own self apart,
Just so you can move on and make a fresh start.

But tell me how and when will you succeed?
You've placed yourself so desperate in need.
Clutching to empty straws that only curse,
Broken erupted wounds that you sit and nurse.

Remember those times when life was always fun,
Even sunlight could never falter with every step you'd run.
You were so free in the sunlight and the rain,
Why did you bring upon yourself all this pain?

I just don't understand you,
You always knew that I'd be there for you.
But I still don't understand you,
There's always something changing about you.

I know the things that are hidden in your heart,
You can try and hide but we're never far apart.
Cos I always sang the same song as you,
Upon dew drops of rainfall we always flew.

But I can't help wonder why things are not the same,
Why you walked away and diminished your own name.
What was the reason - why were you oppressed?
What were you hiding behind a face always so depressed?

These wounds don't heal and memories never die,
I'm still thinking about you every single time.
Thinking and wondering what's going on in your life,
If she's even fitting to be your new wife?

I just don't understand you,
You always knew that I'd be there for you.
But I still don't understand you,
There's always something changing about you.

I try my hardest just to stay away,
But deep inside my heart you still stay.
I can't erase your thoughts - they're always around,
Leaving me tempting but knowing I'll only slip to the ground.

I still miss you even if I won't say,
But you were so selfish I had no other way.
In the end I'm still thinking of you,
There's nothing changing in my life - there's nothing new.

So where do I go from here when I can't step ahead,
Thinking once and twice but I only break my head.
Tiny pieces form in memory so solitude,
Broken depths of wonder with such attitude.

I just don't understand you,
You always knew that I'd be there for you.
But I still don't understand you,
There's always something changing about you.

One day tomorrow and you'll forget my name,
The only thing reminding you of me would be a published note - fake fame.
Do you ever wonder or even try to find out?
What's going on and what it's all about?

I just don't understand you...
I just realize that I never knew you...
I just don't want to live in memories of you...
I just don't understand you...
I just realize that I never knew you...
I just don't want to live in memories of you...
