1. MIS//UNDERSTANDING

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
Ive 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
Ive 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
It's all we can do
It's all we can do
It's all I can do
So I ask will you?


2. UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'VE GROWN TO BE

All the lights,
were too bright to see the spark
that I've been missing for too long.
Something I've been missing for too long.

My empty cup,
could never fill another.
I have spilled all I've had,
to make things better.
But the love of all others,
has made me new.

My empty cup,
could never (because of you) fill another.
(I am made new) I have spilled all I've had,
(because of you) to make things better. (I am made new)

We've all been broken
So let us make each other new. (x2)

I've died inside every time I tried
to lie to myself about feeling alive, alive. (x2)
(I've died)

All the lights,
were too bright to see the spark
that I've been missing for too long.
Something I've been missing for too long.

All these distractions,
kept me from seeing what I needed all along,
an understanding.

I am speechless tonight
As I stare into the sky.
I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love,
I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this,
I feel unexplainably alive.

I need to understand what we've grown to be.

Tonight, when I look into the sky
I know this is why I am alive.
Tonight, when I look into the sky
I know this is why I am alive.
So sing with me if you feel this feeling. (x2)

I'm alive.
