I Understand

McMaster & James

Here I am alone again tonight
talking to myself...again
lately I've been seeing less of you
what's a man to do


I understand that it's been crazy
I understand there's not much time
you've always got the best intentions
every single time


as the hours of the night roll by
just like your alibis, I stop and think
it's not like I don't really know you well...
sometimes I think I know you better (than you know yourself)


I understand that you've been busy
and you can't be by my side
you've got the perfect explanation
every single time, every single time
I understand...I understand
I understand...I understand


If absence makes the heart grow
fonder, why do I grow
...stronger in my resolve
every day I notice I'm becoming someone
...someone who understands
I understand I understand


I understand you really miss me
but you can't be by my side
you always got the best excuses
you're such a creative girl
you always seemed to keep me waiting
and now I really understand
that I'm the one that should be changing
I will never ever wait again, wait again, wait again


I understand...I understand...I understand
I used to think you really loved me
but now I know that you just don't care
I understand, that you just don't care. (fade out)
