Why Can�t You Understand?
Some things are so important
You can�t leave them up to chance.
So how can I help you understand
And get beyond our circumstance?
Staying close and visible won�t help...
I know because I stayed.
Hoping for a miracle won�t help...
I know because I prayed.
Opening my heart to show the pain won�t help...
I know because I showed you.
Telling you how your words did hurt won�t help...
I know because I told you.
Carefully selected words won�t help...
I know because I tried.
A flowing river of tears won�t help...
I know because I cried.
What can I do? What can I say?
To help you understand?
I�ve cried, I�ve begged, I�ve yelled and screamed...
Why can�t you understand? |
