The sun comes up another day begins And I don't even worry about the state I'm in Head so heavy and I'm looking thin But when the sun goes down I want to start again You never understand me You never understand me Yeah Don't turn around until you look at me Why don't you take a second and tell me what you see Things I see you only disagree You never understand that's what I want to be You never understand me You never understand me Yeah Not wishing to hide but you just can't see me I tell you the truth but you don't believe me Thinking of love but I can't hear what you're saying Tomorrow I'm leaving Cause I'm not stayin' Yeah....
