Understanding Songtext
von Public Practice

I thought this would all fade away
Didn′t know you would stay so angry
I thought it was just a passing phase
Sure we could grow to an understanding

Bruises heal but your wounds are deeper
Bruises heal but your wounds are deeper than me

I can't mend your broken past
Never thought I′d become part of that story

Staring at the truth I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over, washing over me
Understanding


Should have read the writing on the wall
You never wanted an understanding
You had to have it all your way
And I don't think you deserve my family
If you don't want to see my face

Staring at the truth I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over, washing over me
Understanding

We all want to rewrite our history
To come out on the higher ground
But does it count as history
If it′s only in my
If it′s only in my memory
My memory

Could have done it different from the start
Didn't know you would stay so angry
History will not absolve you
Holding onto all that pain


Staring at the truth I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over, washing over me
Understanding
