You say "why does everything revolve around you?" You say "why does everything I do confound you?" You say that I pulled the world from under you You can't go through it this time And I could be good, and I would If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait Or is too little too late? One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me And that day I could think of things that won't remind me But these days it's unbearable for both of us We can't discuss it this way (this way) I'm gaining strength, trying to learn to pull my own weight But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of too late Just wait I could be good and I would If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait Or is it too little too late? Record and play, after years of endless rewind Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time This time isn't hell Last time, couldn't tell This mind wasn't well Next time, hope I'm Going to be good, and I would If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait Or is it too little too late? Good, and I would If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait Or is it too little too late?
