Can you understand me
I notice when ITalk to you a little longerThat youLike those others are fading away
Your hands go very slowlyBefore your eyesHow long have youBeen lying to yourself
In your heartIs it all over alreadyYou’ve been feelingNo longer what it takesTo try it anywayOne more timeWhat will remain is a great loss
Can you understand meWhen I say I have to goCan you understand meI can’t take it anymoreDidn’t you see tears in my eyesMy heart that hurts so muchNo I can’t stay with you any longerBut you’ll always be with meBeing with me
I notice when I look at somethingLook at you longerReality isDifferent than it seemsThat sense of fireThat has been missing for agesYour heart is tired of all that struggleLong gone
You make your ownThe choices in lifeTime will tell if itThe right ones areEither wayYou have to keep giving it your allEven if it seemsNow then it’s all over
Can you understand meWhen I say I have to goCan you understand meI can’t take it anymoreDidn’t you see tears in my eyesMy heart that hurts so muchNo I can’t stay with you any longerBut you’ll always be with meBeing with me
