I've been up all night,
you've been puttin' up a fight.
Seems like nothin' I say gets through.
How did this old bed
fit a world between me and you.
We said "goodnight"
but the silence was so thick.
You could cut it with a knife.
We've hit the wall again
and there's nothin' I can do.
You're the one, yea,
I've put all my trust in your hands.
C'mon and look in my eyes,
here I am,
here I am
You don't understand me, my baby.
You don't seem to know that I need you so much.
You don't understand me,
my feelings,
the reason I'm breathin',
my love
The mornin' comes
and you're reaching out for me.
Just like everything's the same
And I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth
and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way
we could feel each other's pain.
Tell me why
it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend,
here I am
You don't understand me
You don't seem to get me, my baby.
You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me,
my dreams or the things I believe in,
my love.
You don't understand me.
You don't understand me.
Understand me.
