lyrics

If you jump
I won’t catch you
If you run
I won’t run by you
And if you leave
I’ll just let you

I’ll abandon all I’ve got
But I know that all I got is you

There was a man
Who lived inside me
You took his hand
And look, honestly
You taught him things
He’d never learned

But now his world is tossed and turned
All his foundations tumbling down
Are you proud?

I should know what I am
But it’s plain to see
That there’s a woman in the mirror
Staring back at me

And I don’t understand
No I don’t understand him
I don’t understand at all

There is a man
You’re forgetting to mention
He’s got your number
And your attention
What he has
Can’t be measured
By the pseudo-scientists
Or calculated online tests
And I can tell my asking is pestering you

But I know what we had
It’s a shame to see
How a love can crash and burn so easily

But I know I never had you
I know I never had you
I won’t ever get near you again

‘Cause I don’t understand you
I don’t understand
No I don’t understand you at all

All I know is I never had you
I don’t understand
But I won’t ever get near you again

And I don’t understand
No I don’t understand you
I don’t understand you at all
