BoyWithUke _Understand_ (Live Performance) Open Mic
[00:10.34] Girl, I hope you understand I
[00:12.20] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't
[00:14.59] Wanted to be your man back then
[00:18.84] And you knew I fell for you, but you
[00:21.23] Just broke my heart in two
[00:23.63] I was sad, mad, and broken on my bed
[00:26.01] Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head
[00:28.40] I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med
[00:30.52] When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead
[00:32.92] And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat
[00:35.04] I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"
[00:37.43] So instead I took my pen and started writing evidence
[00:39.56] And when I started making sense, I found that I had reached the end
[00:41.95] Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends, you wanna bet, you're just pretend?
[00:44.34] You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing, you're not -
[00:46.73] I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did
[00:50.71] I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived
[00:55.49] They were my neighbors; razor blades and different flavored pills I hid
[01:00.01] Therefore, I'm at surely my last straw
[01:02.67] I'm so gassed, stuck in the past, I said that
[01:05.32] Girl, I hope you understand I
[01:07.98] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't
[01:10.11] Wanted to be your man back then
[01:14.88] And so far I never held you with my arms
[01:17.54] So it's hard to be the one you aren't with
[01:19.67] Instead, filled with anxiety
[01:22.06] Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be
[01:23.65] Somebody 'cause it's not me, I'm not used to all the talking
[01:26.31] Was an introvert that had converted feelings into writing
[01:28.96] Used to cope with all my problems using notes and lots of rhyming
[01:31.09] Used to hope for better days whenever nights would have me crying
[01:33.48] I'm not lying when I say that I would rather die than go back
[01:35.87] To the times that I would try and be the guy the people know as
[01:38.26] Always fighting with the demons hiding far behind my eyelids
[01:40.38] On an island full of violence, in my head I had two pilots
[01:43.04] Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray
[01:45.70] I feel it coursing through my veins
[01:48.09] I said before I'm not okay
[01:50.48] But you don't listen anyway
[01:52.87] You know I tried, you turned away
[01:55.00] Straight out lied right to my face
[01:57.65] You fucked my life, ruined my day
[01:59.77] But you don't know, so I'll say
[02:01.90] Nothing can fill this silence
[02:04.29] No one can love like I did
[02:06.41] Nobody cares, you lied, it's
[02:08.81] Not fair, you still deny it
[02:13.59] yeah you don't know, so I'll say
[02:20.23] So I'll say Girl, I hope you understand I
[02:22.62] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't
[02:25.28] Wanted to be your man back then
[02:29.52] And too bad I know I can't wake up
[02:31.39] Because I've lost my weight, and you don't give a - about me
[02:34.58] This could be a dream, I can't see the things that you see, so please, oh
[02:38.56] Girl, I hope you understand I
[02:41.22] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't
[02:43.87] Wanted to be your man back then
[02:48.12] And you had known and played along, you
[02:50.78] Were my home, I wrote you songs
[02:52.64] Now you're dead to me, effectively
[02:55.02] Removed yourself outside my dreams
