Explain

I can't explain what I don't understand
So I can't explain what I say or do
Please don't ask me to when I hold your hand
If I had answers I'd give them to you

No one escapes their past
Though I certainly tried
Memories always last
Tears must always be cried

Keep looking out the window of this train
Looking at the world as it passes by
It seems so peaceful and without pain
Seeming doesn't make it so, it is a lie

Life is lived alone
My actions are mine
My pain is my own
I walk my own line

There is no way to explain who I am
There is no way to show you how I think
Life is not a test for which you can cram
There are no answers written down in ink

I know what must be
I'll do what I should
But I hope you see
I'd change if I could

Keep thinking about what I have to fear
Keep thinking about what I have to lose
Was there a time when life was ever clear
Time when grey didn't have so many hues

But for a while
You gave me some peace
I made you smile
Moments pain did cease

I can't explain why that peace went away
I do not know where everything went wrong
I don't really know why I can't stay
I must go but I don't know how long

Rain hits the window
I sit here and stare
Stuck here in limbo
Life is so unfair

I can't explain what I don't understand
So I shouldn't blame you cause you can not
But I had to draw the line, had to stand
Before I became someone I forgot
