Behind the words

poppiano

"I understand you",
but you never hoped it would rain just to stay inside.  
"I understand you",
but you never had to say something five times just to be heard.  
"I understand you",
but you never had to walk faster ‘cause your friends left you behind.  
"I understand you",
but you never had to fake a smile to hide your tears.

*You say "I understand you",*
*but you don’t really know what it’s about,* 
*behind my silence* 
*there’s a whole world inside.*

"I understand you", 
but you’ve never been scared of what people can do.  
"I understand you",
but you never stayed up all night, thinking too much.  
"I understand you",
but you never chose others over yourself.  
"I understand you",
but you never felt the constant fear of failure.

*You say "I understand you",* 
*but you don’t really know what it’s about,* 
*behind my silence*  
*there’s a whole world inside.*

"I understand you",
but you don’t actually know me.
