Now I understand who you are
And why it had to be so hard
The battles that you fought
What you lost along the way
Now I understand where you've been
And why it hurts to let me in
I know it's only words
But I needed to say now I understand
Some words never should be spoken
Some promises never should be broken
And some hurts the heart should never have to feel
And some wounds have to take some time to heal
Now I understand who you are
And why it had to be so hard
The battles that you fought
What you lost along the way
Now I understand where you've been
And why it hurts to let me in
I know it's only words
But I thought you should know
Now I understand
Some things need a bit more patience
Some things are just worth the waiting
And sometimes you got to be the one who bends
And sometimes you will be the one who mends
Now I understand who you are
And why it had to be so hard
The battles that you fought
What you lost along the way
Now I understand where you've been
And why it hurts to let me in
I know it's only words
But I thought you should know
Now I understand
Now I understand
