  • Am I not understanding this now?
    This world I've held so close to my heart
    Is all against me now
    And it wears, and it breaks,
    And it brings me down, so low, down so low
    It wears me down, down to my bones
    Straight through my skin
    It wears me down, down to my bones
    Wearing away until I'm nothing

    Am I not understanding this now?
    This world I've held so close to my heart
    Is now more broken then ever
    And I tried compassion
    And to love every other
    I've tried forgiveness
    And to hold on close to my brothers
    And look at where its left us
    Did I ever understand enough?

    Did all my words fall on deaf ears?
    Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?
    Have you ever felt like you did everything right
    And it still all went wrong

    Am I not understanding this now?
    This world I've held so close to my heart
    Is now more broken then ever
    And I tried compassion
    And to love every other
    I've tried forgiveness
    And to hold on close to my brothers
    And look at where its left us
    Did I ever understand enough?

    Six years ago I married a bride
    I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
    Six years ago I married a bride
    I'm not sure she was meant to be mine

    So unsure of everything
    So unsure of everything
    I live in the marriage of life and love
    But was I mistaken all along?
    Have you ever felt like you did everything right
    But it still all went wrong?

    So here I am filled with doubt
    Understanding with live will be
    My only way out
    Don't give up on me
    Because it might take days
    Take comfort in me if you
    Feel the same
    Feel the same

    Don't give up on me
    Don't give up on me

    Take comfort in me
    Take comfort in me

    We need to fix ourselves
    And make right all our mistakes
    Its all we can do
    Its all we can do
    Its all I can do
    So I ask will you? Writer/s: ANDREW GLASS, DAVID STEPHENS, ERIC CHOI, JOSHUA MOORE, KYLE PAVONE, LOU COTTON
