UNDERSTAND MY HEART
I am so sick and tired of all this fighting
Why can't I just stop crying?
I keep asking myself, "Where is all the love?"
And I keep trying to convince you, "Enough is enough!"
Sometimes I wish I could explain how I feel
But to get it into the right words, I never will!
It's usually small things that we're fighting for
But it's more important to me to love and understand one another more.
Have you ever thought about what you put me through?
I think not because all you care about is you!
You've hurt me so much and I can never explain
That once my heart is broken, it never again will be the same!
I hope you can understand what I've tried so much to say
Because these feelings I have, I will never be able to take away!
